Happy Valentine's Day!

I know I have not been updating much recently, but I hope you are spending some quality time today with your loved one and spoiling them rotten or being spoilt.

Most people think that Valentine's day is just a commercial farce, but even if it is highly commercialised nowadays then I think it is a time when you can really stand back and appreciate the love you feel for your partner and can really show them that you care.

In our modern lives then often we get so caught up in working and surviving that we neglect the little things that matter so much, like spending time with our partners where we just appreciate them and don't discuss anything like how you need to get the insurance sorted etc, just talk to them about them, give them your attention and affection. So any day that forces you to do that and to show them that you care, is welcomed by me.

The same applies to Christmas, people say it is too commercialised and that spoils it, yet they are forgetting that it gives families time together which they probably would not do without Christmas forcing them to!

So don't be cynical, open up your heart and embrace the day for what it is meant to be, a celebration of you and your partner and the love you share.
