Every year on February 14th, we all celebrate Valentine’s Day.
I have always thought it was an over rated day. Yes, over rated.
I mean why wait till the 14th of February to tell the ones you love, you love them. It seems to me that telling them at least once a day is better than once a year.
OK, I know that it is a money making day. Look at all the candy that is sold, and what about the cards. Boy! Hallmark really makes a fortune on that.
I cannot believe the price of cards…why would you spend $5.99-$7.99 a card only to have it thrown away? I really don’t understand that. Am I being to practical? I waddled over to the discount card store, now paying half price for a throw away card works so much better for me.
So today is Valentine’s day and I did buy my husband a card and of course he bought me one. We will open the cards and read the loving words that someone wrote for us and then move on with the day.
I guess when you have been married 40 years the romance is just not top priority. I remember when I use to get a very large heart boxed candy. Until one day I told my husband I just cannot do this candy thing any longer. Now a boxed heart filled with candy never enters my home. NEVER! Don’t have to tell my husband twice about not giving me candy.
But I don’t mind, truly. For like I said I really believe that this day is overrated with all the candy, cards, flowers, and romantic dinners that you feel you have to have. I truly believe that love is an everyday experience. We need to say it often, we don’t need to give flowers, candy, cards or even go out for a romantic dinner…for it is not what you do on Valentine’s Day that shows a person you love them, it is what you do everyday…for you see everyday should be valentine’s Day with the person you love.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!!!
