Hearts and Flowers

Since it is almost Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be nice to do a series of flowers with a romantic style to them.

Valentine’s Day is a bittersweet holiday. I associate it with loneliness and wishful thinking for most of my youth. Love is very painful when you don’t have it.

As children, we gave out sets of Valentine’s cards to everyone in class. I always stuffed mine with those little candy hearts to make them ‘more special.’ The last time I gave out Valentine’s cards was Freshman year in High School. I was giving them to my friends. One girl I had met in some class and talked with a lot asked me what I was doing. I suddenly realized that I had not thought to make a card for her. It was clear to me that I had had the chance to make a real friend of her, and lost it that day.

So for everyone who sees this, I am giving you my Valentine’s wish for a happy day. May you have the love and happiness you seek. Take some time this Valentine’s Day to go out of your way to smile and be friendly to strangers. You never know when that stranger may become a friend.
