Happy Valentine’s Day!

vday%20003.jpg

I know there are lots of folks out there who can’t stand Valentine’s Day. They’re either sad because they’re alone or they just think it’s been commercialized like all the other holidays. And I would agree wholeheartedly that if Valentine’s Day is the ONLY day you show your sweetie how much you love them, you’ve got a little work to do in the romance department.
However, I love Valentine’s Day, and here’s why: because wonderful little treats, like these lovely cupcakes made by my co-worker, Stephanie, pop up all day long.
This morning, I also came in to find a single rose on my desk in a bud vase. It was left there by my boss, and each of us in the Features department got a different colored rose and a different vase. How cool is that?
Don’t forget your main man or your lady on V. Day, but also remember that this is a perfect day to practice random acts of kindness and remind everyone you appreciate, including your friends and family, how much they mean to you.
Come to think of it, now’s a perfect time to remind all of you how much I appreciate your readership and comments every day. You make my job incredibly fun.
Tell me about your Valentine’s Day so far. Have you encountered any wonderful surprises? What do you plan for the ones you love?
