Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Greetings and Happy Valentine's Day!!

Love is or should be in the air today.  It is suppose to be a day for sweethearts to show their love in an extra special way.  I don 't really know how or why Valentine's Day got started and have often thought it was just a money making holiday.  But somehow I think a woman must have started it so her man would be reminded to show her he loves her.

Seems woman are more of the romantic type than men are generally speaking.  We expect more affection and attention than men do.  In fact sometimes I think we crave it.  And we never seem to get enough.  There is a big difference between love and affection  and sex.  A lot of men, not all, but a lot, don't seem to understand that either.

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about gifts like the florist, candy maker, or jeweler would like you to believe.  Its more about making the woman in your life feel like she is the most important thing in the world to you.  You don't have to go out and spend 6 bucks on a card when a hand written note expressing your deep love would probably impress her more.  Jewelry and gifts are nice but eventually the newness wears off.  The jewelry goes in a box and is worn once in a while, the candy gets eaten or thrown out, and the flowers die,,, but hugs, kisses and I love you's make sweet memories that will last forever.

Here's wishing that this is the best Valentine's Day ever!!

Until next time,,,,, Blessings!!
