V-day...

I think this is the one day where we are so overwhelmed with materials, the cards the roses the companies cashing in on a hallmark date in the calender.
No I am not against Valentine's day but I think we have lost the actual reason of it, it is the day of love, that doesn't mean purely couples in relationships (as we are taught to think of it) it is the ability to give love to everyone on this day, a smile, a hug or maybe just going that extra mile to make someone happy. There shouldn't be just one day where this is ok, it should be everyday. Making an effort to make people feel happy can make you a happy person too. Love is the positive energy you can give off and if you give love then you will receive it too, whether it is from that same person or not you will receive what you give back.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, don' feel the need to blow out this day to be the creme de la creme, where you invest such a huge effort for the most perfect day. Don't. just take it easy, enjoy each others company  whoever it may be with, money and material items can't mend a crappy relationship or the fact that you just are not happy.
Be happy, make it your mission to put a smile on someones face, you never know you could have even made their day and isn't that the greatest reward?

Love,
B
