The importance of St. Valentin

I don't care much for the commercial side of today's Holiday and what it may means in terms of fresh cut flowers purchased or chocolate to die for, but I think it's important to be reminded that we all have someone very significant in our lives and we should always pay more attention to her or him. That's it, a timely and wholesome reminder if we ever needed one.

A reminder about someone we share so much with, the good, the bad and the in-between, someone who – more than any other person – will listen to what we have to say, make the drudgery of daily life look a bit more bearable, tell us what to do when we are hesitant, smile to our jokes - even those that aren't so good, and keep us going through the hurdles life is placing on our daily path. It's wonderful to know that we're not alone and be re-assured that we have at least one fan left who can root for us!

This mid-February celebration is for all of us, good people, who don't ever need to be told anything, but simply reminded about what really counts...
