Happy Valentine’s Day

Hope everyone has a great Valentine’s Day!  I’ve loved reading all your comments about your Valentine’s Day activities.

I was reading something while at the doctor’s office yesterday and it was about keeping romance alive in marriage.  One of the suggestions was to think back to what attracted you to your spouse when you first became interested in having a relationship with him/her.  That brought a smile to my face! :)   Anyway, a marriage counselor I am not but I think whether it’s marriage or anything else, we need to treat people the way we want to be treated.  Everyone deserves to be loved and cherished and sometimes I don’t tell people or show how much I care often enough.

Why do we need Valentine’s Day to make sure our loved ones know how much we love them?  We don’t! We can show our love every day and I’m betting most of you do just that.

We hadn’t planned anything exciting here but I had wanted to bake a few things and that isn’t going to happen.  I’ll spend the day being a slug after hurting my back!  Don’t even ask me how I did it but it involves picking up a laptop!  Can you believe it?  I’ve been dealing with it all week and yesterday decided I need to see the doctor so now I have meds. Hopefully I’ll lay low for the weekend and feel better by Monday.
