There are a lot of people out there who go head over heels for this Holiday and think that if you don't get the right thing or do the right thing then "someone" won't LOVE you. Is that your take on this Day or does it have it's own meaning? Let's get a good discussion going on it.Helping hands and Hearts.bmp

In the long run, we wound up giving each other small gifts and giving our student some candy and a balloon. In Japan on Valentine's day, girls give the boy they like chocolate; and a month later, on March 14, if the boy likes her in return he reciprocates. Imagine having to sweat that out! Anyway, our gift to our student surprised her. We had a nice dinner (steak, salad, french bread) between the three of us at home. A day or two earlier I'd gone to my mother's place (she's a widow and lives in an Alzheimer's residence) and gave her a teddy bear, a card and some balloons. It made her happy, even with her limited understanding of the world around her (due to her dementia).
Afterwards, I got to thinking about Valentine's Day at this time in my life. I love to be romantic with my husband, but I think I'd like to add a deeper aspect of it if I can. I'm thinking about finding a way to show on that day love to those who feel unloved. Making a phone call, sending a card, an email or giving a small gift of candy. Just something to let them know that someone loves them and cares about their life. I've got a whole year to give it some thought.
