I admit that my morning post was more cynical than I actually feel about Valentines Day and love and romance .... I'm actually a total sucker for all things lovely and romantic. But seeing as how this is my first Valentines' as a non other in three years I did consider hiding in my house until the day was over.
But, I did not. In fact I get all dressed up Carey Bradshaw style, with pink and flowers- the whole bit - and trotted my single little butt over to my parents house to bring Valentines' greetings. I arrived to find out that my Dad, the always surprising man that he is, had bought me chocolates and a wonderful card to wish me a happy heart day.
The cards reads:
"She blooms with beauty
from a loving heart,
with an inner strength
that no one ever taught her...
To every day, she brings
delight and wonder,
a bright and precious gift
a gift of life - a daughter."
It's okay, made me cry a little too. That's one of the absolute best cards I've ever received. So the only question is, where are all the men like my dad?
After that I spent an hour or so just driving around with my dog, jamming out to Kings of Leon. Then dropped the kiddo off at home and headed to my Aunts house for a lovely dinner and visit. She lives on the beach so I took the scenic rout home. The sky was so clear tonight that every star seemed to have it's high beams on. And the moon! Wow!
So I my be single, I may not have had a date tonight or even plans with friends but I am far from alone in this world full of coupled people.
