MY VALENTINE: ELLE GREY WEG

This post is for you Ashley :) . . .

With Valentine's Day nearly one week away, I thought I would share my thoughts on the day of love. My family and close friends know that this a day I have always had a special love for. It all started in kindergarten when I got my first Valentine. Yes. . .I know there are those who dread this day...the singing cards and teddy bears, endless conversation hearts, the array of flowers, chocolates, and cheesy valentine cards. All though this holiday can be silly, down right corny, and cliche, I believe it is a holiday that everyone can enjoy if you look at it in a different light.

Valentine's Day is not for only for those love-struck couples who can't keep their eyes of each other. It is a day for those who are in a relationship, those who are single, and even those who have no interest in romance. Many people can benefit from Valentine's Day. How you may ask? Well, it is a day to tell someone, anyone that you love them, that you appreciate them, or even that your life is more special with them in it. It is a day for a random act of kindness, to do something spontaneous, to throw a party, or even just smile at the lady who cut you off in line. Go for it...surprise your dad with his favorite coffee drink, put a note on your best friend's car, or bring cupcakes to your kid's classroom.

Don't let Valentine's Day pass you by with a chip on your shoulder. Don't laugh at the men running in to the grocery store last minute to buy roses AND Don't forget to tell someone that you have not told in awhile that you love them. It is simple day, yet a day to be expressive, crazy, and fun!

HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY from my heart to yours!
