Today is a very special day to me. I know many people who call it a "Hallmark holiday" or think it's totally pointless– but I have to disagree! Maybe it's because I love LOVE? Or any excuse to eat chocolate and not feel guilty about it? Or because my birthday is the day before so Valentine's Day has always been an excuse to extend the celebrations?!?! Regardless, even when I was single or had been dumped two years in a row by my on-and-off-again college boyfriend the week before these days (I KNOW, right?!), I still enjoyed celebrating this holiday. I love an excuse to give pink and red gifts to people who least expect them, and to express my love to those around me. And, it reminds me that I need to do it more often, and not just on a marked holiday.
So, I'm going to wrap this up so I can go hang out with my incredible husband and adorable son in the living room– the two most amazing guys that I am beyond blessed to have in my life. Even if you hate this holiday or think it's silly, please make an effort today– or tomorrow, and a month from now– to spread the love in any way you can. After all, what goes around, comes around, right? Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day!
