Valentine's Day Suffering
Is it just me? My fiance had to work in another city and I fell on black ice last night outside of a museum- can't walk. My dog walker got a card and chocolates, and as I jokingly said, I got crap, but at least "she made it herself." Feeling blue.
I hate Valentine's Day, I always have.
I hate a "holiday" that causes so much pain for so many people. It is a day when lonely people feel more alone; a day when unappreciated spouses/partners feel more taken advantage of than usual. I don't understand it. In my mind it reminds me of high school cliques where the unpopular kids watch the cheerleaders and jocks rule the world. And I hate it.
That said. I love my husband and I know he loves me. But I know because of the horrible day he is having with a job, that was made more horrible by this latest snow storm, that I will not be getting a card, or flowers, or candy. And that is ok. Before work today, my husband, not because it was Valentine's day but because of who he is; took the 15 minutes before he left for work to shovel the driveway so I wouldn't have too Not a present most women would find romantic but one I did!!!
