Are You Ready for Valentine’s Day

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? Are you struggling with trying to find the perfect gift? What does Valentine’s Day really symbolize?

The All About Dating Guru is excited that Valentine’s Day is finally here. I believe Valentine’s Day is not a day only for lovers but a day filled with blessings.

Love is a blessing we take for granted daily but Valentine’s Day is the one day we are allowed to soak it all in with greed and a day set-aside to remind us to show our loved ones the love, respect and appreciation they deserve year-round.

Strangely enough, on my way home today, a song I am embarrassed to say I have on my iPod, “Love Struck” by V Factory came on and I began to wonder what does Valentine’s Day truly symbolize. Thoughts started to race through my mind. The lyrics are captivating to me and motivating me to write this post. The song is about the anticipation of falling in love. Isn’t that what Valentine’s Day is about, the anticipation of falling in love or celebrating being in love?

Yes, I know the true story behind Valentine’s Day but I believe that message / story has been lost over time. Sadly it’s become a day about spending money and less about spreading love. Valentine’s Day used to be the day when someone built up the courage to say, “I love you” or ask someone out on a date and for others it was the one day set aside to shower the ones they love with gifts from the heart.

Cupids, Roses, Chocolates, and Sweet-Nothings are material things and have replaced the true symbol of love or affection.

If you haven’t said, “I love you,” to the ones that make a difference in your life, Valentine’s Day is upon us so get ready. Write a letter, send a personal card, make them dinner and call your mother and say “Happy Valentine’s Day!” And I don’t mean text it or email it!

This Valentine’s Day acknowledge all the loved ones you’ve been blessed with. Lastly, if you have a loved one who recently ended a relationship, this is when they need you the most. Spread love this Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day from Flirtatious-T!
