Valentine's Day

In exactly one week, the sometimes wonderful and sometimes dreadful, holiday of love rolls around once again. For some, February 14th is a "Hallmark Card" holiday , or a day that just points out one's loneliness. Though, I don't see why it should be that way. 
It may be a holiday created by greeting card companies, but it has evolved into something wonderful. It's a day to celebrate love, all kinds of love.

I remember being little and walking out on Valentine's  day morning to big red balloons and candy from my momma and dad.
I also remember last year when Omar left red roses, Reeces Pieces and a Dr.Pepper (my favorite things) in my driveway before we went to dinner.

It's not just about love from a significant other, while of course it's always nice to have a boyfriend/girlfriend but it's a time to celebrate all other kinds of love as well. 
You have your family and your friends who are equally important as a boy/girlfriend.
I don't see any reason to hate Valentine's Day.
I really don't.

So this year, if you don't really like Valentine's Day...try to embrace it, spend it with your girlfriends, your "bros" or your family.
Don't dread it.
