Many folks say that Valentine’s Day was created by greedy retailers who wanted a sly way to make an extra buck. Couples may feel compelled to buy each other fancy gifts or wait in long lines to eat in an expensive dinner. Some singles hate Valentine’s Day because it reminds them that they are single.
While there are likely truths in each of those statements, the fact remains we all need love, and love should be expressed. Valentine’s Day can be a great time for you sit down and write a note to someone you love, someone who has made a difference in your life, someone you couldn’t see life without. Valentine’s Day definitely celebrates romantic love, but it can also commemorate a child’s love for her teacher, a son’s love for his mother, a friend’s love for her friend.
Life is short, and we often don’t tell those who matter to us the most just how much they matter to us; and we definitely don’t say it enough. As I was making cards this weekend, that was the motivation that fueled my creativity.
Here’s a few of the cards I made.
This year, may your Valentine’s Day be more than candlelight dinners (which is still an awesome thing) and a box of heart-shaped chocolates. May it be a day that you express your love for others.
Yours Sincerely,
Chasity
