My Valentines Wish

February 14,2012.
On and off today I find myself seeing people be on a emotional roller coaster of emotions around Valentines Day. Some are high on life because they got flowers and some are lonesome and down in the dumps saying they don't care about Valentines day or other various things.
I think Valentines Day is a tad bit over rated to an extent. The inflation of prices..the craziness. I Totally get people feeling lonesome. I know the feeling. I think Valentines Day is a day more of a wakeup call. For the people with someone. Always treat the person wonderful...absolutely amazing. Don't need a reason to recite the words from a Hallmark card. Especially when you stand there to choose THE RIGHT card. It is stuff you always think or the words that express how you feel. People should do sticky notes randomly. Thanking people for hard work...or time spent over supper... the LITTLE THINGS ARE WHAT COUNT.
I think for the lonesome folks...become the person you seek. What if your single..what if someone sent one rose instead of a dozen. Be a secret cupid. I find the best feeling in the world is to make other people happy. Mayne go thru a coffee place and buy the car behind you a coffee. Buy a dozen roses and give them out to 12 friends or people that you appreciate that go unspoken alot of the time. Random acts of kindness like that do not go unnoticed and people will always remember how they felt. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER.
I walked thru a store to find my daughters a Valentine gift. They pry think I never listen but I was walking thru a store and I see hula hoops. Not just any hula hoops. But the kind that light up as they go around. In a few short hours they will be home to find the best gummy bears in the world. The worlds most perfect sugar cookies which I also call crack cookies from Walmart.. a loving card and pink water holders they also told me no less than 100 times they wanted. I just am excited for the entire day to see them so happy. Best feeling in the world. ;)
Don't get me wrong. Im the mushiest girl you will find when paired with an amazing cupid. I have gifts and love notes n a letter...card and a rose and rib eye steaks to spoil my valentine. My GREATEST GIFTS ARE THE SMALL THINGS THOUGH.
I thought about this on the way to work this morning... Im blessed. I WOKE UP..I WAS ALIVE! I had a car to drive. Was healthy..had a job to go to. Had heated seats. Past several people that waved. Had a awesome surprise grimaced coworker. A random present from a customer. Got off work early. A cat that cried when I came home because he missed me.  The ability to walk. The sunshine. The temperature above freezing so I could wash the salt off my car. Arms to hug. Lips to kiss. ITS THE LITTLE THINGS.
My Valentines wish is for people to be secret cupids more often. Do not wait....because sometimes...there is not another Valentines day. Like my favorite saying. So not live with regrets. Live your life. Make a memory. Open your heart. Live your life.
Have a blessed Valentines day. I WISH YOU HAPPINESS and LOVE.
