I don't care what the haters say about Valentine's Day... Claiming that we should express our love for one another every single day, not just on a "designated holiday"... Saying that it's a sham, a holiday created by the greeting card companies...

Blah. Blah. Blah.

Seriously?

I agree with the part about expressing love every day (very important). And maybe the greeting card companies, florists and candy makers make a ton of money on Valentine's Day, too. So what? They also rake in the $$$ Big bucks $$$ on Mother's Day, does anyone object to that one? Shouldn't we love our mothers every single day???

I'm a romantic at heart. I LOVE love. I'm not sure if I believe in "love at first sight", but I do believe in true love. It's happened to me, it's real and it's possible. I feel sorrow just thinking about a life without true love.

And I LOVE Valentine's Day! It's my number 3 favorite holiday behind Thanksgiving and Halloween. I look forward to all the red and pink, the lace and ruffles, the sweets and especially making valentines!

It's one week away and I've got nothing but love and Valentine's Day on my mind.
