Some see it as a day to express their love to their loved ones more than they would usually and some have been under a rock since last night and can't wait to come back out tomorrow morning.
You know, I have always been amused by people that hate Valentine's day. Funny thing is those that I know that hate on the day all have one common denominator - they don't have a significant other. Personally, I don't see that as a reason to wish the day never came by. If I acted like one of those people, I would have years under my belt of hiding under a rock. My sister and I had a good laugh this morning about Valentine's day and our days in high school.
All my four years in high school, I never had a Valentine whenever the day came around. Never! It never bothered me though. It was just one of those days to ooh and aah at the love of others, and trust me, there was a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing to do at my school. In fact, so much that if I were bothered by it, every year on the night of February 13th, I would have plucked out my eyes, put it in my book bag, and glued them back in after getting back from school on the 14th. Lol!
Valentine's day at Collins Hill High School was serious. The hallways were filled with decorated lockers that had surprise gifts stuffed inside them. The girls walked around with lots of big red and pink balloons and candy packs. It was almost like a competition for who has the most and biggest balloons. The worst offender was watching roses being delivered to people in every class period. My school did this thing were you could buy someone a rose or more, attach a note to it and have it delivered to their classrooms through out the day. Now that I think about it, my sister and I were not smart. Why didn't we send roses to each other from imaginary boys?!?! LOL! Oh well! On the brighter side, I always enjoyed eating the candy my friends got. Things got a lot better in college and there after :)
To all who don't have a Valentine, remember there is no greater love than that which we have with our Father in Heaven.
Happy Valentine's day to all, especially my life long Valentine - hubby!
