The season of lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvvvvvve

I've noticed all around me, in the last few days, love hearts, flowers, cards etc. Oh yes, I have to pinch myself - it's soon to be, Valentine's day! My youngest son also shares his 8th birthday on this day.
Valentine's Day eh? Well, I used to be a hopeless romantic on this day, however with time, I lost the romantic feeling this day brought.
The reasons? Living with a man who laughed at Valentine's day, moaned about how 'commercial' it was and wouldn't go down the route of making it a special time. I guess, this way of being, made me think that there was no point in Valentine's Day.
Now? I have them old romantic feelings back, now that I'm alone. I have the urge to get into the Valentine's thing but in my own special way. Agreed, I don't really much rate the mass commercialism of it but I do think it's quite a sweet and romantic time. I have visions of me being a teenager, catching the bus over to my then young sweetheart's house, carrying a ginormous, padded Valentine's card. Ohh the pangs and excitement of teen love. I haven't actually received a card for years but I did get a funny forum message last year which gave me a few giggles.

Ahh let love blossom and romance live, on this special, magical day..
