Much ado about Valentine's day

When @sheyhunsays (his twitter handle) asked me to write this piece, I felt *honoured much*... But that was until I realised I didn't exactly have a topic to write on so I have decided to go with the flow and write about love seeing as its the *month of love* and all...Happy reading!

   

Personally, I think Valentine's day is over-rated and I don't get why people decide to show love on 1 day out of the 365 days of the year... I do not agree with the idea that love or its expression should be an annual thing either... However, this opinion might be based on the fact that on more occasions than one, I have had to be a spectator whose only job is to uhhh and ahhh over the gifts of others and that's not a particularly good feeling...

But then again love is too great a gift to be left uncelebrated... It's very easy to take people (particularly the ones we care about) for granted because we expect them to be there no matter what... Sadly, things do not always work out that way (you know what they say bout not knowing what you've got till you lose it....)The key therefore is finding a balance - Not ignoring the one(s) we love until Valentine's day is round the corner and not overdoing it on that day...

Hope you all have fun this Valentine's day...And if you are riding solo (like I am), do not give in to the *inevitable intimidation* that you will feel from all the love and affection around you...
   

Peace and Love...

I decided to leave it just the way she sent it except for some minor editing. She's one cousin in whom I am well pleased. She couldn't even come up with a topic, so the topic is my idea. Sounds nice though, even if I say so myself. 

Now before you start criticizing, it is her opinion (though I share some of the sentiments). If you have a divergent one do write in and I will let you have your say... *wink*

Enough said. Have yourself a most fabulous Vals day... 

P.S

Happy Vals day P...
