I didn't get flowers for Valentine's Day

Driving to work this morning in fog laden foothills I started thinking about the meaning of Valentine's Day. I am one of those people who think it is a commercial holiday for companies to make money. With that being said... in our super busy lives isn't nice to have a reminder to tell the people you cherish the most how much you love and appreciate them. So Many of us are raising a family, working a full time job, etc. that life gets in the way. Daily chores and responsibilities cloud our vision of what is truely important. I Did Not Get Flowers today but what I did get, let me re-phrase, what I do have, is a husband that gets up at 2 am everyday to go to work and waits up for me to get home from work because he wants to spend time with me. He helps the kids with homework, makes dinner, etc. to lighten my load at home. I realize today I have relationship that will continue to grow and bloom throughout our lives. So I don't have flowers to display to the world that I have Valentine but I do have a special bond with a special man. Thank you St. Valentine for this reminder.

  1. Thank you for a reminder that we don't need physical things to show the world we are loved. As long as we know it ourselves and love ourselves, then nothing else really matters
