Valentines Day

Valentines Day has never been a favorite day of mine. During the school years, when everyone gives out cards and such, I always felt that it was just one big popularity contest. I especially noticed this when my daughter was growing up because the school sold heart shaped lollipops for the kids to hand out to their friends. It really annoyed me that the school would do this because some kids got either none or only a couple, while the popular kids got several.

As I got older, and in relationships, I was always disappointed. No big box of chocolate, no dozen red roses, nada, zip, zilch. Waa!

This year however was the best valentines day ever. I can not believe how lucky I am. On Thursday, two day's before Valentines Day, my daughter and grand daughter sent an edible arrangement to me at work. I have always wanted one and it was so good. I shared it with my daughter and grand daughter that night and it was so cute but my grand daughter that it was so cool to eat grapes off a stick. - she is 17 months old.

Then the evening of Valentines Day, after dinner, my daughters boyfriend came home from work early and brought me roses! It really touched my heart.

I am blessed.
