Be Your Own Valentine
February is seen as the month in regards to love, balloons, valentines’ cards, candy, flowers and the pressure for couples to make a big deal out of the day. Now don’t get me wrong. As a writer of romantic comedies and women’s fiction, I’m all about the love but not the pressure behind it.
From what I’ve observed over the years, we’ve gone from being surprised by the sweet acts of our significant others to badgering them “not to forget” that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. To avoid disappointment, treat yourself on the special day.
I’ve already purchased my special small heart shaped tin of Dove chocolates. Because I’m scheduled to work the 14th, I have a funny headband with two puffy hearts that I plan to wear along with a wonderful balloon bouquet to take into my job to create some smiles not only with the staff but the patients as well. Afterwards I’ll grab a bite to eat, watch a tearjerker on Turner Classic Movies while I soak in a wonderfully scented fizz bomb bath.
One more thing. This is American Heart Month. Get up and do something special for that incredible muscle that keeps you alive. Let’s get physical and exercise; bike, run, walk or try a yoga class. Check your blood pressure, know your number and keep it in a healthy range according to your doctor.
Happy heart and Valentines Day to you all!
