Valentines is such an odd little holiday. In general, holidays seem at their core, a way to bring people together. For many however, they end up doing the opposite, this year especially. 'Together' days are always difficult on the single, the ill and the lonely. Valentine's Day can be fun and romantic, or like salt, on a festering would.

When you're a kid, eating chocolate and giving cards to your homeroom class seems pretty harmless, but as you get older, Valentines can take on a nasty edge. I remember some incredible February 14th's when I was in my late teens and through my 20's, romantic dinners, wine, flowers and chocolate, love, sex, the whole nine yards.
I also remember a few that had me wanting to slit my wrists. Painful Break-ups, relationships ending, unrequited love, especially when you're young, can make February 14th a painful pit of sorrow. You can't enjoy the day or stomach the food or even the candy. Being older doesn't mean the pain of a break-up is any easier, but most of us have toughened up a bit. Regardless of what we're going through, we;ve learned that no matter what's going on, no mater how bad it is, just enjoy the food, eat the candy, and most of all, drink the wine. Happy Valentines to All!
