Valentine’s Day

When you’re single, Valentine’s Day can be the most annoying holiday.  The cheesy tokens of affection littering the aisles of the grocery store turn your stomach and you’re inundated with commercials implying that you’re not really loved unless someone buys you a diamond necklace.  Retailers have turned the day into a big marketing ploy, creating a multi-billion dollar industry hawking everything from cards to flowers to stuffed teddy bears.  If you find yourself without a special someone with whom to share this holiday, remember what Valentine’s Day is really about and that it is not just for lovers!

Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the love you do have in your life, from your parents to your good friends, even your loyal terrier napping at your feet.  This is the day to express your love for those who support you in life and who make living in this crazy world a little easier.  Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and we should celebrate and appreciate it more often in all its forms.   This Valentine’s Day, tell those you love how much they mean to you. 

Also, don’t forget to be your own love of your life this Valentine’s Day.  Show some love to yourself this holiday by treating yourself to a massage, some chocolate-covered strawberries (my favorite), or any little indulgence that puts a smile on your face.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
