Valentine’s Day! Some of us embrace it, some of us eschew it. I’m a woman who embraces Valentine’s Day. I have always enjoyed it, even more so once I had a child (it turns out, kids love to make hearts and give it to you, the parent.) I agree, we should celebrate love every single day. I agree, Hallmark had a great marketing person in its ranks back in the day, and that person made bazillions of dollars for that brand. I agree, it’s hokey. Still. I love seeing red roses clutched in people’s hands, on their way to deliver it to their loved ones. I love seeing couples in restaurants, having the same old meal they always have at their favorite joints, using the opportunity of Valentine’s Day to have a date on a school night. I love seeing the enthusiasm of my local chocolate shoppe, its interiors wrapped in hearts and chocolate covered kisses. It makes me so happy. I love it all. So, I’ll say it again: I’m a woman who embraces Valentine’s Day. Enjoy your Wednesday, whether it’s a Valentine’s Day for you or just another Happy Hump Day.
