Ok, so today is Valentines day. Normally I would be feeling sorry for myself on this day because I am not in a relationship or because I am in a relationship where I feel unappreciated, disrespected or taken advantage of. No matter the situation, today would normally be the day that I sit back and dwell on how unhappy I am with my relationship status or lack thereof. Today would normally be the day that I sit at my desk and watch all the flower bouquets, chocolate and over sized stuffed animals parade through my office and put a smile on my face as I say through clenched teeth "Oh , how sweet someone cares about you" when really all I want to do is tear the head off of the annoyingly cute teddy bear and pour bleach into someones vase of beautiful red roses watch them slowly wither to their imminent death.Normally....but not today. Today I am determined to create a "new normal" for myself. Today I am not going to feel sorry for myself because I am not in the relationship of my dreams but be thankful for the people in my life that truly do care about me. And even thought I am not expecteing any Valentine gifts this year (unless you include any hand-made cards from my three boys) I will still delight in seeing all the Valentine gift deliveries parade through my office. Knowing that somebody cares about somebody.
