Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I know a lot of people say the idea of Valentine's Day has been commercialized and is only used for candy, cards and flower companies but the idea of setting aside one day of the year for that one special person in your life is touching. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having love being part of every day of my life. But sometimes we do need to be reminded to go out, and do something a little extra for that special person. Because to them, you are their world and sometimes, we just need to remind them that, yes we do think of them as well.

I hope, that whomever you are, where ever you are that today, you enjoy the time you have with that special person. And if you don't have that special person in your life right now, then just love yourself. Know that you are a good person, with a lot to love and to give. Because, if we don't believe that how can we ever believe another person will think of that of us. As the saying goes, if you can not love yourself, how can you love another?

So do it old school. Write a letter. Send a flower. Go out of your way to just say hi. It's the little things that matter. And if you are alone, remember that you never really are. There is a whole world out there, just waiting for you. Go to your favorite restaurant today and who knows, maybe you will find someone in the same state as you are. And who knows how things may go from there?

Yes, I am a bit of a hopeless romantic. I believe in love. I believe in finding that person that will make us complete. Make us so happy. Because that other person looks at us, sees us, and knows us as we truly are. They love us for who we are, inside and out.

So hold that person, and treat them well. Learn that we all have our ups and downs and disagreements will happen. Remember, that it's forgiveness, understanding, trust, and above all open and honest communication are the keys that make any relationships work. Finding that common ground. And what works for you may not work for others.

I hope you all the best today. And for your future as well.
