Happy Valentine's Day!

Love The Ones You're With...

To my family and friends.

I hope you all are enjoying your day.  I am enjoying mine.  My parents gave me a card and money (that was nice).  My son brought(through his grandma) some flowers...Tulips and a card.  He loves giving me flowers and I love receiving them (he will make some woman happy when he comes of age).  I love Tulips.  I love flowers.  Most folks are surprise that I do not like chocolate.  In the past, I would receive a box of chocolates and I would just accept it with a smile.  Later, I would give it to my grandmother who loved chocolate.

Last year this time, I wrote a post informing everyone that I didn't have a "valentine" and hopefully next year I would.  Well, that was not exactly true, my son is my Valentine and will always be.  I still do not have a significant other and I'm fine with that.  I decided in December that in the new year I would be open to dating again.  I've met people, but no one I'm interested in getting to know better.  So, again we shall see ...

What did your Valentine give or do for you?

 

Happy V-Day!

I hope you all are having a wonderful Valentine's Day.

I don't have a Valentine this year. Actually, last year we were "together", as a couple, but we didn't spend Valentine's Day together. It was not one of our best V-days. We've had really nice V-days and well...I will cherish those moments.

Although, I'm single (not by choice) I offer this peace of advice, celebrate your love for someone everyday or as often as possible. Don't wait until Valentine's Day. Merely stating "I Love You" should do the trick, give flowers just because, spend time with one another, or do something he/she enjoys. Show your appreciation of one another.

Although, we are apart, no longer a couple after so many years together, I'm fine. I realize we need this time apart to truly grow and discover ourselves and what we truly want in a mate. I pretty much know what I want, but this time apart allows me to reflect and see how I could have better handled some situations.

One more piece of advice...If you have trouble inside the home; going outside the home won't resolve the issue. Keep lines of communication open. Work it out.

Tell me how you and your loved one celebrated Valentine's Day? Hopefully, I can use some of your ideas next year...wink, wink ;-)
