Valentines Day 2023
 |
Ah, we have another Valentine's Day, aka Saint Valentine's Day aka the Feast of Saint Valentine. It is celebrated each year on February 14. It began as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. Later various traditions caused it's evolution to a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of love and romance internationally.
I've had varying shades of Valentines Day in my past. Some were hot and heavy, others dismal and obliterated. Nowadays I keep a handle on those heartstrings and try to maintain a certain buoyancy about my personal feelings viz a viz reality. It makes for a much happier holiday. In days gone by I derived much pleasure from buying a few 2 pound Whitman's Samplers and distributing them in and about the office.
So whatever your orientation to Valentines Day I hope yours is meaningful and happy.
Happy Valentines Day to you !
