Blessed Day!

I have to admit that although in elementary school Valentine's day was my favorite holiday. I have not been able to understand the purpose of it in my older years. This year the light has clicked and I completely understand. It is a survival holiday, and boy has it made our week better! Let me just tell explain my theory (sorry I tend to get long winded, a story especially one explaining a theory) will never be a Reader's Digest version. Feel free to skip this post or just skim through it. Theory:
Fall is such a fun time of year, the season changes, which is always exciting and a much needed change, at least for me, it doesn't really matter the season I just love the way life changes with each new season. Then you have Halloween which leads you into Thanksgiving and the wonderful holiday of Christmas. Whether or not you travel or see family there are so many exciting wonderful things going on throughout fall. Then comes the let down after Christmas, but it is okay because, you are making New Year's resolutions, enjoying some calm and peace after such an eventful fall. It is a month that is full of grand intentions. Then February hits and instanly your brain says winter is almost over and soon spring will be here. Yet the cold fronts keep coming, the grand intentions get a little old, and frankly, life is boring, mundane and blah. Then Bam, you get hit with Valentine's day, a holiday made for showing love to whomever, eating yummy chocolate and strawberries (which I noticed there were none of in the grocery store this morning, can you imagine a grocery store all out of strawberries), having cinnamon rolls for breakfast, wearing red and hearts (which is a shape I am not usually a fan of, yet I love them on Valentine's day). With the rise of the sun, cupid takes out the monotany of winter, helps us realize we are loved and appreciated, and gives us new hope to wait for spring. I feel like the sun is shining and I am ready to go. There you have it my theory on Valentine's day.
