Valentine's Day Intro

Monday, February 04, 2008

Almost twenty years ago if you had asked someone what Valentine's meant to them, they had probably told you that it was really no big deal. It might have been important for a florist who had a promotion or a local restaurant that offereds roses with its dinner but there was never a big deal about it and never too much money, time and effort that was spent on it.

However, nowadays Valentine's Day is such a big thing that you would have to be living on the moon if you didn't know anything about it.

As early as possible, what with Christmas preparations, you will be surrounded by advertisements, promotions, special offers and gift ideas in newspapers, on TV, on radio, on the Internet - basically everywhere you turn.

For some people all this pre-holiday hype is way too much and they prefer to ignore the slightest allusion that Valentine's Day is on its way.

Others will find it quite depressing that everywhere they turn, they see or hear so much about it, especially considering that they may actually be single, and that they will have no one to celebrate it with.

Contrary to popular belief though, Valentine's Day is about love and not necessarily among couples only.

It can be shared amongst couples, but also amongst family, friends and anyone you would like to share love with (remember -- love is not automatically equal with sex).

You can be 9 or 90 but love is something we all feel and it is definitely something we all need, be it in small or big ways.

Love keeps us happy, so there's definitely no use in letting the commercial aspects of Valentine's Day ruin this thought for you.

Anything from a simple "I'm thinking of you" to "Mum, you mean a lot to me" can make a considerable difference in anyone's life, regardless of whether you are the giver or the receiver.

Love is all encompassing -- it comes to each of us in one of its forms -- not always the way we wanted it to be...
