Okay, so I used to be a massive critic of Valentine's Day. It's a cookie cutter holiday hyped by greeting card companies and florists that suddenly puts a price tag on love for a day. That's how I would have explained things six months ago. And while I agree that Valentine's Day can be that, I learned it doesn't have to be. I am a Valentine's Day convert.
It's February 13, the eve of the festival of love. But because of being in a long distance relationship and the fact that the post office doesn't deliver on my Sundays, today was my day for that. My gift from P came in the mail today, and he waited until today, when I had mine, to open his from me. And it was adorable - simple and sweet. Top that off with some great news and some heartfelt texting, and it was perfect.
And a Valentine from my dear Kim rounded out the day.
Today, I am grateful for:
* P. He is so good to me.
* finding out that a usually tacky holiday can be sweet if you're with the right person.
* advice from Amy.
* only having six days until I'm with my baby (thanks to a last minute change in travel).
* a card from Kim today.
