With or Without Valentine

“February” no matter what always seems like the cozy month between the cold January and the Springish March. It’s like a second chance of making things happen, that we thought we would do in January but then we think March will be too late to let your resolution, ideas, promises, imaginations go wild.

And then before you know its Valentine’s Day. How to go about wishing you beloved one, what to plan, what to buy, how to surprise, where to take, the romance, the special someone in our life, chocolates and red roses and the list goes on.

And some of us are alone too, but don’t have to equate yourself to being lonely. We all are social animals and we all need to be recognized by someone, not necessarily the other half or the same age group too.. But we need to nurture the individual self. We can spend time with ourselves, get to know yourself better, treat yourself and not wait for others to make you feel special or how others perceive you.

We love our children, family, friends, and work – do what makes you happy and be with who you want to be. Feed your soul not for anyone else, but yourself, even if it is silly things, like going shopping, putting your feet up and watching TV.. Whatever puts a smile on your face, excites you and gives you clue to your life ahead.

Forget about the candies, candles, chocolates and roses and no matter what your relationship status says on fb – try to be different!!
