So why am I making such a fuss about this day that some people even say is purely commercial. Well, as far as I'm concerned it isn't the day or the month that's key but the idea behind it -- the dedication of a day to LOVE - and to me that is so wonderful!
Mind you, the day is not all chocolates and roses for every body. For many the day brings sadness as there is no one to share it with. Why, I ask myself, is so much more importance given to how someone else loves us, than how much we love ourselves? The sad truth is that the day is sad only for those who don't love themselves enough -- for if they did, there would be no sadness.
So, those of you who are going to be by yourselves, for you I have a special question: What are you going to do on Feb. 14? Be miserable? Cry that you have no one to share the day with, and no invitation for a special dinner? Did you know champagne is sold in single-serving bottles? The supermarkets are full of pre-cooked delicacies, including delectable desserts? A flower shop will sell you a single rose? -- enough material here to have a date with yourself, and spend an enriching evening getting to know yourself more and better.
Remember the famous quote, by an unknown author: 'YOU ARE THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!'
