a day to invest more than just a present. We should give all our attention and love and time to those who mean the world to us! And of course, there are those who will tell you that this day was just invented to buy buy and buy. And don't get me wrong, I am all against commercialism, non-sense consumerism and useless plastic production. But it is so wrong to disregard this day. Unless you tell your loved ones that you love them everyday, shower then with attention, flowers, chocolates and other thoughtful gifts. Unless you buy them cards with no occasion and take them to dinner just to dress up and look at then in admiration from across the table! Only then you are off the hook in my books. Then again, if you are doing all that everyday, then you will most likely be happy to have another pretext to show your loved ones love and appreciation on Valentine's Day.
For me there will be no dinners, no chocolates, no cards today. I have to take my son to his dance class and I will not get home until 10. But it is my pleasure to see my son dancing and getting his champion skills! Besides, I did get my Valentine's present already. This afternoon I decided to cook a nice meal. Something that we all liked. And as I was standing at the stove making it, a paper plane flew by and landed right on the stove. My son loves to make paper planes of different sorts so our floors are covered with them. When this one flew in and nonchalantly landed on my working surface I steamed up a bit with anger and a bit in frustration. I was just about to open my mouth to verse my disagreement when I looked closer at it and I saw little scribbles in a red marker on the side of the plane. "Happy valentine's Day! I love you mom." My heart stopped for a moment and my face lit up.
Love and Live with love my friends!
