Valentines Day

[draconisregena]

I don't hate it as far as the concept of the holiday goes. Celebrate love.
I think that is a great and noble thing to do. Love.
I dislike the degree of commercialism that the holiday usually has.

So why does it upset me that I know nothing's going to happen tomorrow special because they don't celebrate valentines day in this country. It comes and it goes and no-one really pays it any mind.
I've never really had a valentines day that I remember. I believe I recall recieving roses once. Nothing really memorable, or romantic. This is the first one that i'll have been married for though. That's special. But romance....

I want that every so often. I feel its lack. Don't get me wrong its not like I don't get romanced. Richard did come home with flowers a couple of weeks ago. He's such a sweet thing. I'm so glad I married him.

So everyone, celebrate those you love tomarrow. Go out and do something special, bring him/her a rose. Surprise him/her with dinner. Bring him/her breakfast in bed. Some of you might even spare a thought for me. I know I'll be thinking of you. Miss you.

Everybody has their triggers, the emotional landmines they are not sure why, but are there anyways. Mine is not valentines day, but my birthday.

Take care of yourself and richard.

I agree with you 100 percent Diane about the day...Love can be absolutely beautiful when two people share and express it to each other.... and I do hope that it turns into something special for you...you deserve it,after all you've done to get to this point. Good Luck!

I absolutely agree with mairegirl about triggers, oddly mine is my birthday as well. No matter what...it always turns out to be a bit of a downer, and I never feel special...I'm almost 40 and to old for this nonsense, but the same nagging feeling seeps in every year....*sighs* None the less, I keep getting older and can't make it stop! Diane...Happy Valentines Day Sweetie *sends loads of hugs and kisses* I hope it's beautiful for you!!! I also hope you know how special you are to me, I miss talking to you...I hope this note finds you well...:)
