Spent Valentine's eating my birthday cake and having unhealthy amounts of lasagne. My birthday is on February the 14th, which is all that makes Valentine's day special for me.
We don't celebrate Valentine's day, or Mother's day, Father's day and all that humbug. It's just one more way for businesses to make money. I don't need a calendar to tell me on which day in the year I should tell people that I love them. I do that all year round, whenever I feel like it. I get flowers of my hubby every other week, or something else he knows I'd like. Sometimes just an email saying 'I love you' or something simple like that. Not because the calendar says so, but because he feels like doing it and thinks I deserve it. I do the same thing.
Same goes for mother's day...do we really need a calendar to remind us to love our mothers? I certainly don't. I make sure she knows, whenever I talk to her, email her or see her. Not just once a year.
