We don't do Valentine's Day

I've forever relieved Dan of the bogus obligation to buy me chocolate, roses, or jewelry on 14 Feb. I've told him not to even buy a card.

But every work morning at 5:45 in the cold and dark, he walks me to the car holding hands. He waves goodbye then goes back to the warm boat.

Love isn't what you show in extravagant gestures on special days. It's what you show in tiny rituals, every day.

I agree that day-to-day gestures are more significant.

That being said, we went out to dinner and I bought myself flowers and chocolates. ;)

The grocery store was actually pretty comical Friday night. I told Robert that they should have just declared the floral department the "guilty man" section of the store because that's who was running around there. LOL
