Happy Valentine’s Day Celebrate Love for Singles and Couples
Happy Valentine’s Day to you whether you are single or part of a romantic couple. Today is often purported as a day for only couples to celebrate their romantic love relationship. In many ways, most of the modes for celebration sorely leave singles, or singletons as Bridget Jone’s Diary puts it, out in the cold completely. It’s reminiscent of high school prom if you had not yet socially and looks-wise bloomed attracting a boyfriend or girlfriend, isn’t it?
However, what I want to suggest to you today, whether you are part of a romantic couple or a single man or woman is that today you simply celebrate love.
What does that mean?
It means, BE loving.
Be loving to your relatives. Perhaps paying special attention to an aunt or grandmother who has lost her husband and is alone. Give her a single rose and flowery gushing sort of Valentine’s Day card.
Phone all of your closest relatives and wish them a Happy Valentine’s Day and tell them how it made you think of how much you love them and how much they mean to you.
Buy YOURSELF a single rose of your favorite color or perhaps a small bouquet of nosy perfumey blooms like Stargazer Lilies and Tuberose.
Give yourself a small box of Russel Stover chocolates (easy to find at a Drug Store, which, btw, guys – Drug stores often have some LAST MINUTES Valentine’s Day items to save your butt if you forgot a few things….)
Perhaps a few colored candles to serve yourself an amazing meal by candlelight.
Perhaps breaking open a bottle of your favorite wine. (Mine is Clos Du Val’s Merlot or Cab, I mean, just in case you’re wondering! lol).
Because, remember, “You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” ~ Buddha. And when you are a couple, the love you two share, it is not just for yourselves. It should warm the hearts and hands of those around you. So, today, celebrate love, most of all by BEING loving and SHARING your love with others around you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Dating and Relationship,

So when I encountered your blog post, your articles of caring and love for everyone is certainly educative and entertaining and expansive to include all people. Allow me to inform you how I admire your article.
