It’s that day again! The day the flower sellers/card makers came up with so they could have Valentines Day twice a year! Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it helps to keep them in business and gives the men a reminder that they should do a little something to make their wives happy even if that involves killing flowers and buying candy.
I managed to bat 300 this year with the traditional flowers/candy combo with a nice set of deep red roses and some extra special dark chocolate candies and the perfect card. Despite being very sentimental I’m not a very good romantic, but I am slowly learning why such gestures are so important and I definitely understand the benefit they bring me. It’s the sort of thing I try to remember to do every so often on days that aren’t designated by the flower/candy/card industries, but I’ve not quite mastered that yet so despite the obvious commercialism of the day it’s good for me to have that kind of a reminder.
Here’s hoping you managed to do as well with your significant others, assuming you have one in the first place.
How long has this been going on?!
It’s really difficult to read this while a zombie is staring at me, but Yeah, some dark chocolate can bring on real sentimental feelings.
that and checking the tires on my bicycle.....
Happy Sweetest Day to you and the missus
