Every year when Valentine’s rolls around, I think how much more meaningful it would be if I would send personal letters to people I love, instead of manufactured, commercial cards, but then I always go for the glitz. Buy the cards, send them off, and by the time I get around to this I don’t even have time to write those meaningful messages that have been floating around in my head the past few weeks. Maybe I’ll do better next year. After all, I am a writer! You’d think it would be an easy task.

But right now I have red and white tulips on the kitchen counter from hubby, and three Valentine cards. Store bought or not, I am feeling very loved. I guess that’s all that counts. So, I hope the valentine’s I’ve sent help make other people feel loved, as well.
