Happy Valentine's Day

So Valentine's Day -- the day we celebrate love.

For singles, though it is something else altogether.

• It's a reminder that we do not have someone to come home to at after a bad day and complain without fear.
  

• A reminder that we don't have someone to share the hardships and celebrations of life.
  

• A reminder that we won't be getting a sweet little note today about how much we are appreciated.

For many singles, that is what Valentine's Day is. For me, I am going to try to think of it as:

• A reminder that I don't have anyone to consult with before I do something I really want to do.

• A reminder I don't have anyone I need to pick up after.

• A reminder I don't have to watch where I'm sitting before I use the bathroom.

• A reminder I don't have to share the Oreo cookies!

But more than that I can remember that I do have people in this world that I love and that love me. So that will be my focus this Valentine's Day.
