It’s that time of the year when love is in the air. It’s that month of the year when the red and pink are dawned for all to see. When you tell that special someone in your life that they are the ones for you. It’s that time of the year you approach your crush. It’s that time of the year when you send your love to everyone out there. It’s that time of the year you wish would never go away. It’s Valentine’s Day! Paying tribute to the day of the year when history says the Saint Valentine…well wait there’s actually a lot of stories about this famous holiday. Probably the most famous is the man that dies professing his love to his one and only. Yes he was slain in the name of love. For what reasons, think Romeo and Juliet. Guy loves girl, girl loves guy, girl’s family hates the guy (wow that’s still relevant) so family goes after the poor guy and all hell breaks loose, basically ending in blood shed. My point is this is the month where we celebrate love. Love to everyone. Your lover, you mother, father, brother sister, and everyone you see passing by on the street. Open doors for strangers. Drop some change to the homeless guy. Call your family to say hi. Do everything you can to spread the love.
One really good way is to get those gifts of love for whomever you are going to spend the day with. Flowers and candies and chocolates and cakes. One of the most renowned treats is the Sweetheart. Those little sweet tarts that say “Miss You??? and “Call Me??? “Kiss Me??? “I Love you??? and the most famous of all catch phrases on the day of love, perhaps because of it’s unknown affection to that person about to read the little note on the candy, “Be Mine??? OH! The sound of that brings back memories of a goofy little me in third grade handing it to the girl next to me and seeing her reaction as the teacher walks over to inspect the innocent candy I had given her. She looks at the two of us and says “Oh you kids are so cute???. AH the days of young love. How cute and awkward they were. The Sweetheart is the ultimate Valentine candy. SO do yourself a favor and pick up a pack of these and spread the love with everyone. Happy Valentines Day!
