Happy Valentine’s Day
The older I get, the more I recognize that this day has
been inflated by department stores, greeting card companies and florists. I
didn’t used to feel that way and Ron and I have a rocky history with
Valentine’s Day. It’s been much better since I grew up and realized that roses,
candy or cards are not the measure of how much my husband loves me. The proof
is in all the little things he does for me every day…like making coffee while
I’m in the shower and bringing me a cup while I get ready for the day…or that
he drives me to work and picks me up every day even though he doesn’t have to…or
that he loads the dishwasher without me asking him…or that he carries things up
or down the stairs for me…or that he happily does the grocery shopping (he
knows how much I don’t like doing it)…or that he will give me a foot rub
whenever I ask. Truly, I know how much he loves me because he puts up with all
my crazy – that is saying a lot!
So today I wish you a day filled with the things that
really matter…good health, friendship and love. Never mind the heart shaped box
of chocolates…

Well, you've got THAT right! But a little chocolate never hurts.
