I Say Happy Valentines Day
To me there is so much more to loving someone than Valentines day and chocolate. If you have that someone special in your life realize how fortunate you are,. Don't just show them love on Valentines day, live it, tell them and show them daily. It don't cost money to show you love.
I remember when I was married, my husband used to keep me a fresh bouquet of hand picked wild flowers during flower season. He worked hard all day 9-12 hour shifts, yet still always found time to pick my wild flowers, rain or shine, chiggers, ticks that didn't stop him, to me that was such an awesome testimony of his love to me and for me. I would take those hand picked wild flowers any day over a dozen store bought long stem roses.
