Happy Valentine’s Day to all! I might be wrong, but I do not believe we need a holiday to show our significant other that we love them. It seems like Valentine’s Day has become more of a consumerism day to buy cards, flowers, jewelry, balloons and candy when it was supposed to be all about love! My husband and I do not need a designated day to show how we feel about each other, we show our love and appreciation for one another every day of the year!
Valentine’s Day can also be a sad day for some. What about those who have lost a loved one recently? Or what about those whose relationship has come to a bitter end? Or those that are single and are not going home to a loved one? I am not saying we need to hide our love for our significant others to shelter those that are not enjoying Valentine’s Day, but we should not go to huge extremes on only one day to prove our love. 
I truly hope y’all have had a good day! I do not mean to sound so anti Valentine’s Day, I just feel pretty strong that love should be shown and felt everyday of the year! I do my best to always make sure my husband knows just how much he means to me and he does the same!
Thank you for stopping by my site today and reading my thoughts. Whether you agree or disagree with me, I would love to hear your own thoughts about Valentine’s Day. Is it a holiday that you love or hate? I am sending each and every one of you lots of love and comfort, everyday not just today!!
Always, Alyssa

Exactly! Real love is known daily! The smallest things are what matter and add up. I am not the type that needs flowers, jewelry, candy and balloons. I am pretty easy to get along with!

I agree!! We should be expressing our love all the days of the year. Valentine’s Day is just another day. There doesn’t need to be a specific day we shower gifts to those we love. This should already be instilled the day we say “I do”

Great post and so true! It was an exhausting Valentine’s Day for me. Our Boxer, Mia, passed away last night so none of us slept well. You know what not getting enough sleep can do to us with MS! I haven’t even felt like crocheting and I have a couple orders to get out! Happy Valentines to you and your hubby!
