Love

VDay. 

When you say it like that, it sounds kinda depressing.  I like "Valentine's Day". 

I am in such a good mood today because it's the day of love.  I think we all need a little more love ;)

Valentines day shouldn't be the depressing "single awareness day" which is what I call it sometimes.  I was teaching in the middle school this morning and saw a lot of girls walk in with teddy bears, flowers or treats.  Some were getting frustrated that their boyfriend didn't do as much as So-and-so's boyfriend.  It hit me like a load of bricks. 

Valentines day meant a whole lot more in high school and middle school.  Back then, I remember wanting a valentine and wanting the Hollywood-ized bliss of the day.  Of course it's a special day because its all about love.  

But now it's just a day to eat chocolate, go on a date (even if its just with roommates), wear pink/red, and show your love to those you love.
So, a shout out to all the single people: You are not alone.  Share your love with your best friend, your family, or even your pet.  Just share it.
