Today is a drizzly, rainy, soggy, cold and very wet day. Not much to celebrate in the way of a holiday...being Valentine's Day.
But holidays are what you make of them. They don't have to be elaborate, fancy or expensive. Just a time when you take a little extra to say I love you and thank you.
Take time to do that with ones you love. Especially your spouse and your kids. Maybe a sibling or a close friend. Even a co-worker. It's not a cliché. It REALLY is the thought that counts.
Perhaps their favorite candy left on their school desk. A note in their lunch. Surprise them and take them on a lunch date. A poem, letter or even a heartfelt text. Do a chore for them instead of them doing that chore. Don't ask...just do it. And never say "we decided not to do anything". Accept what they do with love and gratefulness. And do what you do with love...never because you feel guilty.
Little things ARE the big things in life. Make today count. Make every day count.
