my own personal holiday

Who, being loved, is poor?
~Oscar Wilde

I love Valentine's Day.
I've always felt that it is my own personal holiday.
A day filled with pinks and reds, flowers, handmade greetings,
iced sugar cookies, and expressions of love...
basically all of my favorite things right there,
in a tight little heart-shaped package.
I choose not to be a cynic
but to embrace the day
and celebrate all the people in my life I love.
So I'm making happy little cards decked in my favorite shade
and sending them out with love and well wishes
to all the people
who make my life rich.
