What I really want for Valentine's Day

I'm not one of those girls...you know...the one who gets really bend out of shape if she doesn't get what society describes as an 'appropriate' gift for Valentine's Day. Maybe that's easy for me to say since my honey always remembers to lovingly send me a beautiful arrangement. I'm also not big on diamonds or chocolates in a box shaped like a heart. So this year is no different for me when all I want is Time. I want time with my husband. That might mean dinner but I don't care if dinner is at a restaurant or at home. I just want that moment when we concentrate on nothing but our decision to be together. I also think it's important to remember that Valentine's Day doesn't only celebrate romantic love but the love we have for everyone. When I was writing notes to our visitors yesterday I was compelled...no...emotionally forced to put a little heart sticker on every envelope. What a dork right? Maybe not. But I like to think that the love God showers on all of us should be celebrated as well. As I know you're not shocked that I put stickers on all my correspondance please be equally unshocked that Valentine's Day for me is also a celebration of humanity and my moment of concentration on the dream of everyone loving each other. Happy Valentines Day everyone!!!!!!!
