Celebrate love

not rabid commericalization! (my word) To me, all the advertising takes the wind out of this holiday, indeed, many holidays.  It seems that Valentine's Day is celebrated all over the world.  So I decided to get some facts about it.  Did you know that there have been many St. Valentines?  Did you know that one of them was a WOMAN!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!! She was Valentina and martyred in A.D.308.  Did you know that the Medieval poet G. Chaucer may have started this holiday by way of his writing in 1375?! I am quite sure this holiday was not intended to be what it has turned out to be.  You don't have to have a partner to celebrate, nor do you need to be dripping in jewelry and eating chocolate (but the chocolate sounds good)  This is just one of several holidays that should be celebrated EVERY DAY!   This is a day, like any other, to celebrate the love you have in your life, with friends, a beloved pet, and, most of all, yourself.  CELEBRATE THAT!
