Valentine's Day, you either love it or hate it, it seems. Me, I can take it or leave it really, but I do always end up celebrating it in someway, at least for my daughter. I am always sure to get my daughter at least a little candy and card, or this year I wrote her a letter telling her all of the reasons why I love her. As for my husband, I've just decided that I'm going to give him something no matter what from now on. In the past we never made a big deal about this holiday, until last year that is. Last year, the day before Valentine's day a box of Sheri's Berries showed up on my doorstep, much to my surprise. The next day it was a bouquet of tulips! I was in shock and completely unprepared, we had never given gifts for Valentine's Day before. It was so last minute and my brain didn't know what to do, I ended up getting him the cheesy heart shaped box of chocolates right before he got home. Not very original, I know, but there was no time to think of anything else. This year, although I expect nothing in return, I was slightly more prepared. This morning I put one gift on the seat of his truck before he left for work and I delivered another to his truck before lunch time. It was actually kind of fun to be sneaky like that and made me enjoy the holiday just a little bit more.
I hope that whether you have a sweetie or not that you enjoy your "Heart Day". Even if you treat yourself to flowers or chocolates, why not, you deserve to indulge a little today or any day. If you are going to indulge yourself in a little knitting, I've included a link to an easy heart happy pattern from Lily Sugar'n Cream for you to enjoy.
