A Little Late for Valentines Day

So Valentines.. the holiday that has people torn on their feelings towards it's very existence,"Valentines is a dumb holiday," said mostly by those who are celebrating this holiday in a singled state, renaming it "single's awareness day" out of humor or bitterness, I am not sure. I tried to think back if I harbored those same feelings?  Did I have those thoughts in mind when it rolled around?  I would like to say I did not, and if I did I don't think I outwardly expressed them. Those assigned to the holidays committee long ago probably were not meaning it as a cruel joke or reminder to anyone not in a relationship. In fact, they probably wanted it to be a day we express our love to everyone we love, maybe reflect on the relationships we have and seen how much growth there has been. I used this year's Valentines to be thankful for family, friends, my kids, and my Sam. I was even going to be nerdy and make a lovely dinner for my dad and brother using edible arrangement flowers (compliments of Sam) as the centerpiece-which translated into I picked up Papa Murphy's pizza, baked it and ate some of it with my mom before they even got home. I am very blessed to have many loves in my life. And since this is a Valentines post yeah.. I am even going to quote some songs.. yeah..I am. It seems  appropriate. ($1 if you can name the artist to each)

"We have come so far since that day and I thought I loved you then"

"If I could reach the stars pull one down for you shine it on the heart so you can see the truth, and this love I have inside is everything is seems"

"every time I try to tell her how I feel it comes out "I love you" you got whatever it is"

"I don't need clever conversation I just need someone I can talk too"

"yeah yeah yeah, yeah!" (haha)

(I probably won't give you $1 each, but cheers!)

I write out of love.
