Post Valentine's Day Thoughts

I used to think Valentine's day was a joke but to be totally transparent I don't even really know where this pseudo holiday came from! There are many holidays and "days" that happen that I really don't know much about and it's probably because I wasn't raised with any type of religion. I was influenced by other's and their religion but my Dad, who raised me mostly, and my Mom never went to church or quoted the Bible. 

My parents, including my Step-Mom, always did something fun for me for Valentine's day so I always looked forward to this special day as a child, then somewhere along the way I guess I grew out of it, or it wasn't cool or I dunno.... but now I love it again! So instead of going to do some research and pretend I even have a clue that I know what this day is about (and maybe one day I will) I decided that I would declare what Valentine's Day means to me and hope that someone will find it amusing. LOL - so here it goes... 

1. Number one is definitely CHOCOLATE. Like Easter, I have associated Valentine's day with chocolate. My beloved Tony knows just how much I LOVE chocolate so he made sure to bring me a giant bar of dark and spicy chocolate.  We ate it within a few hours! YUM! In fact I eat chocolate everyday as part of my healthy brain routine. My chocolate is made with ethically fair traded cacoa and made with organic ingredients and infused with whole nutrition for the brain... it also helps with unhealthy cravings and even weight-loss. 
2. LOVE! Well no duh!  Celebrating love is a great way to spend any day! What does that look like? feel like? Sound like? Now go do that.
3. A reason to do something or say something nice for someone, anyone! and as many as you can! You never know just how far this can go and what this could mean to someone. 
4. and Crafts - see my Pinterest Valentine'e Love pins. I love arts & crafts and slowly but surely have started to make time for it again in my life. 
   
5. Practise this more regularly - not just in Feb...
   

I would LOVE to hear about what Valentine's Day means to you...
