Why I don't celebrate Valentine's Day
Valentine's day is supposed to be a day where we pay special attention
to our loved one, buying flowers and gifts and generally spoiling them.
The idea is to remind those we love just how much we love them.
But shouldn't every day be like this? Love isn't something you celebrate
just once a year -- every moment of every day should be a celebration.
I'm always treating my love as if it was Valentine's Day, in the way I
prepare dinner, open the car door for her, sneak a candy in beside the
hot drink I make for her, send her love notes at work, surprise her with
unexpected gifts, even the way I look at her when she wakes up in the morning.
If I needed some artificial date on which to proclaim my love, then that
love wouldn't be worth very much.
I love my wife constantly -- shouldn't I show it constantly too?
