A few ideas on celebrating the day with a different outlook

On Valentine’s Day we can become enamored with spending money, giving the same old roses, boxes of candy and expensive jewelry.  Not that I don’t like those things, however we could be creative.

♥ Handmake your card.  You can do this with online platforms, so many free ones to search for.  You can paint a picture or write a poem or story to the one you celebrate this holiday with.  Use imagination, and what you might have at home.  Love comes in many styles.

♥ Take a long walk if able, carry along a thermos of hot chocolate if in cold environments, maybe some wine or brandy.  Make sandwiches, cut them with heart shaped cookie cutters.  Have a picnic on a snowy bench or if lucky under a tree in the warm grass.

♥ Sit and talk, discuss your future plans, your past, your love.  Why do you love one another anyway?  Share that,

♥ Exchange books, read together.

♥ Watch a movie and cuddle under a blanket on your couch. Share a bowl of popcorn.

♥ Cook a meal together, incorporate your favorite foods.  Eat the meal by candlelight.  Use good china if you have it.

♥ Take a nap, dream sweet dreams together.

♥ Take your single friends and neighbors a card and a loaf of homemade bread.  Invite them over for a meal,

♥ Just love one another, if you are married, single, divorced or widowed.  Just love the best you can.
