Valentine's Day. 

A single day where we are supposed to tell and show the person we love how much they mean to us.  

An unexpected gesture, a gift, a night out at a fancy restaurant...I guess all of this shows someone that you love them? 

Personally for me, I use Valentine's Day as an excuse to eat as much chocolate as I want and I like to pretend the calories don't count.  That IS how it works you know.  Holidays cancel out calories. 

I don't really need an extravagant gift, an overpriced dinner, or any more affirmation of how much Canean loves me for this one day just because it is Valentine's Day.  He tells me everyday that he loves me and does sweet things to show me how much I mean to him.  I hope that I in return also show him on a daily basis how much I love him and what his love means to me.

Don't get me wrong it is still nice to have a little Valentine's surprise or a sweet little note left for me in the morning, but that's all I really need.  The point I am trying to make is we should all be showing our significant others how much they mean to us every day, not just because a holiday tells us to or reminds us that we should.
