In general I'm not a big fan of Valentine's Day. Even after I was married it never really warmed my heart. After all, aren't we supposed to show how much we love someone EVERY day of the year? It also doesn't help that the last few years, even though I'm married, I've been alone.
Don't people get married so they're NOT alone?
Apparently not.
At least I knew going into my marriage this was the way it would be, and I don't hold it against the Marine. He's doing his job, defending our country--even those people who would rather spit in the face of our military than accept them as human beings.
I love my husband for that, and there's a reason why I'm not in the service. I'm not as understanding of society's flaws.
Good thing he loves me in spite of my flaws.
Today, while my husband is somewhere NOT with me, I will share my love with the Munchkin and the Niece, just like I do every day.
I hope whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, you're having an amazing day.
Kiss your loved ones, eat some chocolate, and remember that even if you're single--you're not alone.
What do you think about Valentine's Day? Important or contrived?
I'd love to hear from you.

RS,
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you and your family that yo will be reunited soon and that your hubby stays out of harms way while defending my freedom.
As for Valentine's Day vs. the rest of the year: I agree that we should all go out of our way to show our love, but having 1 (or 2 or 3) days set aside to remind us to remember the ones we love is OK, too. Besides the economy can use the boost.
It's great to see your handle. Your absence was indeed noted. Happy blogging.
V-Day imo, is totally contrived. We should do special things for those we love whenever the mood strikes, not just on a particular day. I dont like the pressure to perform holidays like V-Day imply. Of course, I've never been treated to v-day so maybe im just bitter. ;)
