Ok, call me a cynic.

Or blame it on being married 32 years and so therefore my fire must have gone out, right? (it hasn’t, ask my husband ;)

Why do we look to Hallmark, chocolatiers and florists to validate our love, passion or lust… based on our ‘get’ this one day each year?

Do you really need to receive something on Valentine’s Day to know how special you are??

I hate to think someone will feel ‘less than’ (or worse, greater than!) if the package that arrives at the office is for the cubicle next door… Or a surprise on the doorstep actually sent for the neighbor down the street.

If nothing arrives for you, will it wreck your day? Really?

Then why not be the sender? Make your own AND someone else’s day!

(My friend, a leader at Ambius.com, would love your order. That was not a commercial, just an outstanding online resource if you need one.)

Let’s not let any day on the calendar determine our happiness or sense of value.

That is entirely up to us.

Own this.
