Hi, lovely posting. Happy valentine’s day to you.
Thank you so much … and welcome back … *smile
I totally agree, showing love forever and always not because people tell you to is the way to go.
I wonder if maybe the reason this holiday exists is so that potential mates discover what type of person they are with.
My brother is 10 years my junior, and yesterday we went to Target looking for a gift for him to get a girl he has a crush on. I never would have done that, gone out of my way for a crush, she isn’t his girlfriend why get her something? She might not even like him. He used his money wisely and spent exactly what he had set aside for those gifts (about $20) and while he did not believe that the products he was buying were worth the price he was paying, he never once said that SHE wasn’t worth it.
A coworker of mine (a totally arrogant, narsistic, jack wagon, with a heart of pure stone) informed me that he was not the type of man (this is questionable I see him as a child) that would buy a woman lavish gifts. “Some girls are all about that you know? All about what you buy them and throw fits if you don’t get them roses.” And a thought other than the thought that he has never dated anyone crossed my mind, he is already saying he wouldn’t be willing to spend money on someone he liked, someone he cared for, that she would just have to settle for what he gave her. What if this woman was given no indication that the man she was falling for was a total prick (because he surely wants her to buy him things)… this holiday is a God send in that sense, I would be very upset if the guy I was into was the type that decided that his desires came before mine. Relationships are supposed to be equal, this holiday must be about finding that balance.
It’s all because … the commercial pressure – as with your younger brother. I’m sure there is women that will get a fit .. if they don’t get the whole show on Valentine’s Day.
We. women, are not always easy to understand neither – when we say no .. we mean of course … and when we say of course .. it means we are not really that interested. I feel sorry for the guys sometimes.
They are a puzzle too. However yes, we don’t always say what we mean, and we pretend like anyone would know what we were saying.
Love yourself. Best place to start for a healthy relationship. Very simple, and yet underrated advice. So many women are going to feel down on themselves that they are spending Valentine’s Day alone, sitting around waiting for someone to fall in love with them. Perhaps a little self love, is the work that needs to be done before they can meet that person. Great post.
Thank you so much … and thanks for your comment!
You, see I’m old enough to know that if we are not able to love ourselves will we not be able to love someone else neither. I have girlfriends is my ow age that thinks happiness comes through a man
Once again, thanks for stopping .. *smile
Sound advice Wivi and the smile box was the icing on the cake sprinkled with a little bit of Dusty!
Yes, I love Dusty …. she has some voice. *smile – and I wanted to be a bit funny with .. unhappy love song. *smile
Happy Valentine’s Day Viveka. Love your Smilebox and the music.
Thanks Maralee .. I wanted to be a bit sarcastic – with the card and the … music choice – I don’t know if anyone has picked that up. *smile
Cute post… I found you through Susie’s party.
Thank you, Emily … so the party works. Nice of you to .. visit and welcome back. *smile
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you treat yourself to something special!
Thanks for bringing this post to the party. It is perfect!
Have fun clicking on links and don’t forget to tell them, “Susie sent me!”
Susie, I got my first guest already … It works fine.
I’m going to treat myself with my favorite TV-series and a big bowl of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and meringues – my favorite treat.
YUM!!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Viveka. Let me share with you a post by another single friend:
Happy Hearts Day to those who are taken, still-to-be taken, taken for granted, assumed to be taken, needs to be taken, waiting to be taken, almost taken and those who will never be taken. 😉
That is … well put – great … I have to remember that one.
Happy Hearts Day – is what we call it in Sweden: Alla Hjärtan’s Dag.
Great post – totally agree – not my cup of tea…
My son says: Don’t be sad if you don’t have a Valentine on Valentines day – you didn’t have AIDS on AIDS’ day either
Have a treat this evening – I certainly will!
That … I will remember – very witty your son. Brilliant.
LOL, love never really ends, does it? ❤
No …. hopefully not … but sometimes I wonder … when I read about all the hate in the world. *smile
I think all of this fuss about VD is cruel and unnecessary. Love should be shown every day; if it has to have a special day, then it’s not really love.
You nailed it, Linda …. you comes from the corner as me.
I hate the day .. and same with Mother’s & Father’s day.
Lonely people feels even more lonely.
Yes, it’s horrible.
A wonderful and sane message on a day that has gone kind of crazy with all the hype. Thanks for the smile Viveka 🙂
You’re so welcome – you nailed .. it’s a hype and then nothing happens during the rest of the year.
Why not a rose on rainy May Wednesday instead – and a little note in pocket … on a Tuesday.
Absolutely!
On Monday .. will there be a post bout what happen on my Valentine’s Day … my heart melted completely! Had tears in my eyes … but I’m not converted. *laughter.
Look forward to reading it 🙂
the title will be … when love don’t speak perfect swedish.
🙂
Awesome reminder, thank youuuuu
Pink, always my pleasure.
Hahaha, love it!
Love every day, whether it’s yourself or another ❤
You got it … *smile
