Saint Valentine, known as Saint Valentine
of Rome, was a widely recognized 3rd-
century Roman saint, commemorated in
Christianity on February 14. From the
High Middle Ages, his Saints' Day has
been associated with a tradition of courtly
love. Wikipedia
What an amazing day! Celebrated by
married couples, dating couples, friends,
families and children . . . Valentine's Day
seduces us all!
My guy and I were recalling Valentine's Day
in the classroom as kids. Our elementary ed
teachers had us bring a valentine for each
child. And you'll recall, the sets came with
one for the teacher.
Our teacher would then gift us each a cupcake
as well as a valentine from her. We got our first
male teacher in 7th grade and that was the end
of our classroom celebrations. Me thinks 'twas
rather sad!
I still send a plethora of cards to family and
friends on February 1st. Must be the kid in me,
but I really enjoy doing this. Well, I should
probably confess, I just love snail mail . . . the
more, the merrier.
So, here's wishing us all love, friendship and
fabulous relationships . . .
. . . Happy Valentine's Day!
so many friendships
theres so much love in my heart
ever loving all
