What's Love Got to Do With it?

Tina Turner asked a great question, “What’s Love got to do, got to do with it?”
The answer… EVERYTHING! We all need to feel that emotional connection, that feeling of protection and warmth. Today’s Valentine’s Day, the day we get pampered in chocolate and flowers and romantic dinners. It’s all nice, but what does it really mean? (Don’t get me wrong I loved waking up to a rose and some peanut butter kisses) But for those of you who have no Valentine; it’s a lonely miserable day. And for those of us with Valentine’s, it all goes back to normal tomorrow. This just shouldn’t be. Let Hallmark makes lots of money off greeting cards and chocolates today, but let’s remember what LOVE really is, and ALL the people we love in life.
A friend at work gave a special take on today as “Everyone deserves a flower day,” and brought in a whole bunch of long-stemmed roses for all of the females. (SUPER NICE, I know.) I think today, and every day, we need to offer our love and good deeds to others. Even if it means baking cookies because you know someone loves them, or bringing a friend a rose because “everyone deserves a flower.” Love is in the air ALL the time, you just have to reach out and find it. Enjoy the gifts and being pampered today, but remember someone today who may be sad or lonely, and offer them a piece of chocolate or a friendly walk during lunch. A little bit goes a long way. :)

My love, on Valentine's Day and otherwise..


On a side note, check out my Friday night craftiness... (super easy, and adds some color to this gloomy winter).
