Addendum

Okay.  So more often than not things I write come out different than I meant.  For example... Valentines Day.  I wrote about this a few weeks ago.  In my post I put that I hated Valentines Day.  The reason being is that I remember when I was a kid, I was the one that never got many valentines at school parties.  That was in the day when you only brought valentines for your friends.  Then there are all the single people.  Why is it that we celebrate a day of love when these people don't have a special person in their life.   I feel it emphasis this fact, and there are many lonely people in the world who already know that they are alone and don't need a day to remind them.   Why do we feel the need to have a day set aside to tell our loved ones that we love them.  Is it a problem to tell your loved ones that you love them EVERY DAY???  It's nice to hear all the time.  Many years ago, I went to a parenting class at a local church.  One of the things they emphasized is to tell your family that you love them every day.  Even though you know that they know you love them, it still reinforced to them that they were special to you.  I love my family more than anyone will ever know.  They are the reason I get up in the morning.  They are the reason I pray so hard for them  to have good days at work,  good days at school, good health, happy marriages and relationships, and help to support a family. So I hope this clears up what I meant by my previous post--- I don't hate Valentines Day because I don't like you, just the opposite.. I just feel bad for lonely folks.
