Valentines day


VALENTINE’S DAY


When I was a child on Valentines Day all the children in my class would bring valentine cards and we would put them into a decorated box. When the time came the valentines cards were drawn out  one by one and given to whoever it was addressed to. I can remember putting my favorite ones into a scrap book. My grammar school had 8 rooms one for each grade and the valentine box was a tradition every year


  After grammar school I received only a few Valentines and then after a few years the scrap book disappeared .Now you can go on the computer and look up old valentine card images. I even saw ones I had received back in grammar school. I think Valentines day should be a national holiday.


This day is mostly for lovers or those that love one another. LOVE needs to be expanded, because the word has a narrow meaning when it really encompasses everything. I believe everything is created from love. It is an emotion that can’t be defined only felt. Here are some of the actions that love creates; passion, compassion, respect, forgiveness, surrender, kindness, deep affection, enjoyment, caring, appreciation for. It is action, a force. It is entanglement. It is giving and receiving. Everything needs love or it withers or even dies. One can also love nature, for it’s beauty and the peaceful feelings it emanates. So I think we should up grade Valentines Day and send our love forth. Who knows, it may bring peace to the planet.
