Lesson #214

Valentine's Day was 7 days ago. A lot of people, myself included, mock the "Hallmark Holiday." I had always thought. "We should appreciate those we love every day, not just on February 14th."

Perhaps we can learn that Valentine's Day is significant because, not only should we appreciate those in our lives every day, and there is no harm in setting aside a day to truely focus. To focus on life, on love and on our own self-image.
