You don't have to have a spouse or significant other to appreciate Valentine's Day. You just need love! To follow the lead of my favorite Valentine friends at Peanuts, love is:
- Three brown-eyed bandits who have the world's best dad.
- Getting a 1 a.m. "I love you" on Valentine's Day from someone 7 hours ahead of you.
- A funny card from hubby that shows he seriously loves you.
- Friendships that have lasted decades.
- A steaming pile of love from kitty – even after I fed her!
- Knowing she gave her favorite human a similar pile later.
- Hugs from friends.
- Special time with people you are proud of – and privileged to know.
- A date at the basketball game. (Unfortunately, the boys lost.)
- Girlfriend time in the bleachers.
- Welcoming babies to the world of our friends and family (cousins, not us).
- Giving a practical gift – slippers a.k.a. work shoes – and it's "just what he wanted."
- Having the most amazing family from siblings and in-laws to nieces and nephews.
- Being appreciated for your gifts and talents.
- A mint chocolate bar hidden at the bottom of the gift bag.
- A good book in hand with the electric mattress pad heating your back.
