Valentine’s Day is all about hearts, romance, love, right? For single me, it’s less romance but still hugs, kisses, and special wishes. Do not stick me with the “Un-Valentine” set with heart pinatas and speared cupids. There’s still lots of reasons to celebrate Valentine’s Day or “Single Awareness Day,” as this Cargoh card illustrates.
V-D or S-A Day is about reveling in love for your own bad self, sharing your affection with those who are special to you and also remembering those who may need a smile or laugh. With that concept in mind here are a few things that I’d like to share with you.
For the book lover CJ Lyons has a wonderful video on her blog post today. It is a little long but book lovers will love this Academy Award nominated short film. The filmakers say that Hurricane Katrina, Wizard of Oz and a love of books inspired them to make the film which is an allegory about the curative powers of story.

For the thoughtful, reclaim the day by celebrating Generosity Day 2012. You can watch and take the pledge here:
For someone who needs a smile or laugh: (If this one doesn’t do it for you can find more here).
One morning Emma woke up with a start. Her husband Jim asked what was the matter, she told him, “I just had a dream that you gave me a pearl necklace for Valentine’s day. What do you think it means?”
For the foodie, make some of these luscious goodies (recipe) for yourself and/or friends:

Alvarado- I wish you an absolutely loving day full of reminders how special and lovely you are. How absolutely radiant you are in the blogosphere…..so I must imagine even more so in person.
Thank you for your friendship and your continual support (and concern recently when you noticed I wasn't blogging). You are indeed a Blessing to us all! So I say, this is the day to be aware of radiant people as yourself, and our appreciation for you sharing your insights and talents throughout the blogosphere and in the real 3 dimensional world 🙂
-Blessings to you and you family always!
