St. Valentine's Day

Brief History of Valentine's Day:
  • It was first established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 A.D.
  • Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the first recorded romantic link to St. Valentine's - when courtly love began to flourish.
  • Paper Valentine's became extremely popular in the 19th century.
Okay, I'm done with the history lesson.

So, I bought myself flowers, a cookie cake (shared with BFFs) and had a lovely evening - last night. I set the vase right next to my bed - it's hard to not smile when you wake up to flowers. I've taken the high road, ladies and gents. I slipped into a dress this morning, painted my lips red, fixed the hair and I feel nice.

 It's time to make new memories on this day - positive ones. I started a day early. Last night turned out to be surprisingly pleasant. I plan on going grocery shopping, jogging and settling down with some yummy dinner and cookie cake for dessert. It is not the same as having a homemade cookie cake, but it will have to do. 

Valentine's Day should be about spreading love to everyone: old, young, woman or man. So, buy yourself some flowers and remember to smile.

Tip: Do something that makes you feel good.

Namaste.
