Valentine's Day

I wanted to write a bit about Valentine's Day. First of all, I know that a lot of people get very touchy about Valentine's Day. Some think its a lovely holiday where you can celebrate your love for one another. Others think that it is a made up holiday to help Hallmark make a few extra bucks. I think that I am somewhere in between. On the fence, shall we say?

While I don't mind in any way getting flowers and candy and getting all dressed up and having a romantic evening with a boy... this year, for the first time in a couple years, I didn't have a male counterpart to dote on. So I got to spend time with friends.

What a wonderful day! I went to the movies and had a lovely meal with my best friend, I went to the girls' basketball game, I watched a couple movies with friends... I had so much fun. It just seemed to show me, once again, how wonderful my friends are and how much fun they are.

It sometimes strikes me as odd that people hate single-dom so much. I am personally enjoying it very much and don't think I would have it any other way at this point in my life. So, to all of you single people who thought Valentine's Day was the worst day of 2009, so far, I think you should lighten up. Maybe there wasn't someone out there to be romantic with on Valentine's Day... but, it is a day about Love and I know that I LOVE all the people I saw and all the things I did yesterday. So, I would call it a successful Valentine's Day.
