If you feel sad, lonely or depressed about Valentine's day, remind yourself that the holiday isn’t all about romance and couples…it’s about spreading love and goodwill…making people smile.
Buy (or make) the
cheesy, silly paper cards and a few lollipops or cutesy pencils and give them
to the little or not so little people in your life...take the opportunity to “embrace
the kid in you”. =)
Create some fun and surprises for your friends and
family. Bake some cookies or a cake…make your own fun
and take the opportunity for a party! (I
think that the main reason that this holiday has always been so popular is that it breaks up
the winter doldrums.)
I’ll go ahead and confess that some years I’m depressed- but
then if I stop and think about it, it's because I’m focusing more on self, and less on
others. Focus on others…giving love and
joy. Not on what “you don’t have that you
think everyone else does "have”.....
What do you think? Am I right?

Yes, you are right! Like I told you when I first read this! =)
It's nice to enjoy yourself and spread that love and joy to others. =)
Love you,

Isn't that what Christ said? "Whoever is greatest shall be your servant?" I think "greatest" here means most, joyful, most fulfilled, etc.
Thanks for sharing!

Good thoughts! You do that all the time - spread sunshine and love and caring with the people you know (and some you don't). It makes me feel very special and loved. I love watching you use the creative powers God gave you to bless others!! Much Love - Mrs. Bee
