I recall quite well being younger and times when it almost felt good to be single and unattached during Valentines Day. <\/p>\n

\"Ed<\/a> <\/p>\n

And then I recall also how it could be a very lonely holiday indeed; full of reminders of past loves gone wrong, or simply just gone<\/a>.  I also look back and reminisce about the joyous activities in my life and how glad I am to have someone with whom I have and can share those times. Of course there are things that are a pleasure to share, or a talisman of remembrance of trips together or romantic moments of the past. But so too it is hard sometimes to conjure up the urge to provide a romantic \u201cthing\u201d on cue.  <\/p>\n

When asked about Mother\u2019s Day, my father used to say how he tried to make every day feel like Mother\u2019s Day. In many ways I think about trying to make the feeling of Valentines Day extend out to be a lifelong habit. Of course it doesn\u2019t always work out, but so too how often does the idea of a particular day being forced on you in a holiday like this coincide with your feeling perfectly romantic about a loved one?<\/p>\n

I think the main point for me now is how Valentines Day feels different to me when compared to how it felt when I was younger, or compared to how it felt when I was single, etc. And so be prepared for how the way it feels for you will change too over time. Just what does it mean for you these days? \u2026 Think about it.<\/p>\n
