Happy Saint Valentine’s Day

So the story goes that Valentinus secretively married  soldiers who were forbidden to marry during the High Middle Ages.  For this he was thrown into prison.

Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays.  It is a holiday based on love or the thought of a potential love.  As a kid I knew I was loved when I received a box of conversation hearts.  You know the ones I am speaking of,   pastel colors with little sayings on them.  I still go out and buy myself a box of them every year and smile as each one is read and passes my lips.

Whether you have a significant other or not you can still feel the love by giving to others.   If Valentinus risked being thrown into jail for love, we can at least put ourselves out there to put a smile on someone’s face.

With that I am sending a little love to you.
