If I were to blog today....

I wouldn't write about Valentine's Day.

But I'm going to anyway. Why do so many single people freak out on this one day? Celebrate those who are together. Embrace the friendships you have. Watch a scary movie and eat ice cream.

I don't think of Valentine's as a way of rubbing an open wound raw, as many others perceive it, but as an opportunity to think about the special people in my life and how grateful I am for them.

My family always recognized the holiday for each other. That has made it special for me. I still have a stuffed animal my mom shoved in my locker one year.

Maybe I'm just weird... but I suppose that really goes without saying... :)
