 | TAKE CARE OF THOSE LESS FORTUNATE |
Happy Valentine's Day For most of us, Valentine’s Day is a time when we exchange loving sentiments with those closest to us. I already know that before the day ends, my husband, David, will surprise me with some sweet gift and a card that expresses his love. And, of course, I have a card and a special surprise with his name attached. Our family valentine exchange extends to our children, to our mothers, and to others we hold especially dear…
But recently, I learned that valentines, love notes, and other tokens of affection were once sent anonymously.
That sparked an idea: Why shouldn’t I be someone’s secret admirer this year? I could send flowers to that once-in-a-lifetime grammar school teacher who doubled my confidence level the year I was in her class. Attaching a simple thank-you note signed “one of your grateful students” would most likely speak for a hundred others besides me.
And that lonely man I know who lost his wife. I wonder…if I took the time to bake a pie today and left it on his doorstep with a unsigned note, wouldn’t it make him feel less lonely?
Wonderful “valentine opportunities” are all around, it seems. With the tiniest effort, it becomes a day for widening my circle of love.

What a great way to help our Caregivers who need a little love and support and our "forgetful" loved ones who can use a smile!
