It is easy to become deterred by the over commercialization of holidays. When I was younger, it was easy to day dream of big gestures, the gifts, the flowers, or the dates. This year as I stood in the pouring rain hand picking flowers for my valentine I am happy to see they are not over priced, he does not expect them and it makes the giving all the sweeter than the getting.
Do you feel obligated to celebrate or do you embrace the opportunity?
