Extra Love Today

Sometimes people bemoan Valentine's Day 

as a "Hallmark Holiday" ~

Or they say they don't need a special day set aside for expressing love, 

that it should be done every day.

Yes, it should be done every day.

But I think it is lovely to think of Valentine's Day as icing on the cake, 

a little insurance, a day to do that little extra thing, 

add that extra sweetness ~

What a good reminder it is ~

And, to me, any reminder to do the out-of-ordinary is welcomed ~

So, then, to you, Dear Readers, I say:

Happy Valentine's Day.

Wishing you all much love, today,
and

All year long.
