So, yesterday was Valentine's Day. Another holiday come and gone. Although I know many people who despise this day, I love it. Not because I have that special someone {although that is nice, too!} but because any day where there is more love in the air is okay by me. We need more love in this world. Not just the love of a significant other, but love of family and friends...even strangers. Yesterday when I went to the grocery store, I saw more people smiling and in a good mood than I have in a long time. After all, this is California so seeing so many nice people in one place is unusual! Ha! Everyone smiled and said hi as Punkin and I passed them. One man walked out of the store whistling a tune, flowers in hand. It just made me feel good. Why can't it be like this everyday? Why do we need to designate a specific date to show those we love that we care about them? Or to just be nice to others?
Anyway, we had a very nice, low-key day. Jon got me a bottle of champagne, flowers, my favorite candy, and made dinner. He insisted that I have my big present coming later. Because of unforeseen circumstances, we didn't get to do the whole 'date night' deal. But that was okay by me. The day was perfect just the way it was. I told him I don't want anything else. He already does so much for Punkin and I on every other day. I know he cares.
Punkin and I had a blast making treats all day. It was a day of fun in the kitchen! Although I'm pretty sure she was having fun because she got to snack on sweets the entire time. Ha!
