Happy Valentines Day Everybody!

Especially those lonely hearts out there. I share your pain =P

I don't normally pay much attention to this romantic tradition, having forever been single, and would normally forget or ignore the 'significance' of this day. However, for some reason, there's been more talk of it this year. Maybe I've just been around people who have been talking about it, or planning for it.

Let me just say that I'm not a huge fan of the forced romanticism that can result from February the 14th. One does not need an excuse to be romantic, but it doesn't hurt to have an excuse. However, it's disappointing when this is about the ONLY time that some people even attempt to romance.

For all those who are fortunate enough to spend some quality time with their significant other, I wish you an enjoyable and heart-warming day.

For all those who are single, but who would like to be in a romantic relationship, I hope today is not unduly sorrowful and that in due course, in accordance with God's good timing, you may enter such a relationship. I hope that the romantics will not lose heart and that lonely will find comfort.

Anyway, what would I know about romance? Very little. So adieu.

I am also not a fan of this hallmark holiday, and i am in a relationship!

I think one doesn't need a special day to be romantic to show someone they care/love them... everyday is for that, especially as Christians - we are to love everyone around us (or try to - and I am NOT talking about romantic love, but godly love).

:)

But I do like saying happy valentines day... hehe, it has a warm ring to it, even though its not a particularly important event for me. I prefer birthdays!! :D
