Today is Valentine’s. And if you get all googly-eyed over it, good on ya. Celebrate away, my friend. Knock yourself out. Really – enjoy!
Over the last couple of days, I’ve smiled each time I’ve seen a dude juggling flowers and whatever else it is that dudes carry while getting out of cars and unlocking doors. Some of the guys looked as if they were terrified of somehow hurting the flowers. And though I’m sure chicks have been going through their Valentines preparations, I’ve not seen any of them. Only dudes. It’s been sweet.
For me, today is just another day of the week. We don’t have out-of-the-ordinary dinner plans and there will be no flowers or chocolates exchanged in our home. Instead, Mister and I will have Sunday Supper together and maybe catch up on some telly. We will be considerate and kind to one another. We will love each other and we’ll appreciate and respect one another. I can’t tell you what a gift it is to share that with someone every day of the year. We don’t need one day. We get all of them.
So when someone asks me about my Valentine’s Day rituals and then feels sorry for me when they hear I don’t have any, well, don’t worry. My rituals are so full of love, most folks wouldn’t believe it. (And we even received a perfect-for-us card, shown above. So fun!)
I am truly blessed. And I know it.
