While I do not remember the stories told in elementary school about the origin of Valentine’s Day.

I do have fond memories of classroom parties and feeling excited and happy.

My favorite part of the day was exchanging hand-written Valentine’s cards.

I have always loved cards–no matter what the occasion. They speak from the heart.

When I was growing older, I enjoyed chocolates and roses from boyfriends.

As the many of years have gone by, these gifts have disappeared in my life.

However, I now give chocolates to my friends and family.

Yesterday, was different. I stopped and bought myself some roses to love myself more.

If you have a special friend, companion, wife or husband surprise them tomorrow and show your love.

If you are alone–be kind to yourself and do something nice for yourself.

Spread the love and light.
