Have you received any valentines yet? Have you mailed or e-mailed any yet? If you have school-aged children, I bet they’ve been busy putting names on the valentines for their classmates. Have you made any special plans for Valentine’s Day?
I love Valentine’s Day…it’s just one more day in the year to send a special note to friends and show appreciation for those we love. And there are special memories attached to Valentine’s Day. I remember decorating a shoebox with red hearts and doilies, putting a slit in the top, carefully printing my name on it, and taking it to school. All week long classmates dropped valentines through the slits in the boxes. The day of our class Valentine’s Day party, we ate cupcakes, played a few games and proudly took home our shoebox full of valentines.
Later, the excitement centered around the card I would give to ‘that special someone’ and the hope that flowers might arrive at my house! And as the circle of life turns, Valentine’s Day became exciting as I helped my own children get their valentines ready for the party at school. At home I made heart-shaped cakes or cookies. One year I tried to make the whole Valentine’s dinner red. It worked for the jello, but not the mashed potatoes!
Special days for special people create special memories.
May the love of special people abound in your life this Valentine’s Day!
