Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Some people loved it, some didn’t. I heard people lament that Valentine’s means nothing because they’re single. I heard couples complain because they felt forced to be romantic. Online dating sites were filled with forums about the pros and cons of Valentine’s Day.
My feeling about Valentine’s Day or any holiday is that no one can force you to participate. You do it because you choose to so there’s no need to get grumpy about it.
And, whether you’re single or not, the sentiment behind Valentine’s Day is so sweet. It’s all about love and letting people you love know that you love them.
Kids make cards for parents. People are seen carrying bouquets. It’s just a happy day. It’s also a great day for busy couples to be reminded that romance is an important part of life to stop and enjoy.
Valentine’s Day is for couples. It’s also for single men and single women of all ages. It’s for children. It’s for beloved pets. It’s for anyone who appreciates spreading love whether you’re getting it, giving it or just feeling good for all the others who have it.
