S and I don’t really do anything to acknowledge Valentine’s Day. We’re just not gushy like that. But we just grabbed a quick bite to eat at Moe’s before dashing off to the studio to teach tonight’s class. While we were there, a man entered who appeared to be homeless. I watched several other customers sort of sneer at him and others look right through him. So, before we left, I took out a post-it note and a pen from my purse, and wrote him a little Happy Valentine’s Day note. I handed it to him and smiled and said, “I hope you have a very happy Valentine’s Day, sir.” And he looked and me rather shocked, and then smiled and said, “Thank you. Thank you so much.” Didn’t get the hubs a card, but did manage to let a stranger know that he was seen today. Happy Valentine’s Day to you, dear internet. I see you, and I love you.

Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too! Do you do anything to acknowledge it with your husband? Does he even understand it these days?

No I don’t do anything with the hubby. He’s not clear about the day and of course most of the time he thinks I’m his mom and the rest of the time he has no idea who I am… LOL it would creep him out if I got romantic with him. I send other couples for a “dream night” out as my way of enjoying the day. Today I had lunch and a trip to the park with a friend as well. It was a good day.
