Normally, I am vehemently against all things "love" bound. Especially Valentines Day.
It's like a commercialised way of being punished and a very cruel reminder that you are a failure as a wife, girlfriend and woman. I hate it.
I wasn't looking forward to it at all.
Nothing says "ha ha, you're alone", more than the vomit-worthy explosion of roses, chocolate and hearts that adorn everything that you see in the month prior to February 14th.
In short, I would rather have crawled up in bed all day...alone.
But, rather I was uber-spoilt instead!!
Firstly, this was waiting for me on my desk this morning from my darling Karissa....
My very own cupcake and my fave coffee - what a treat. This girl knows me far too well :-)
Secondly, this awaited me when I got back from my lunch break from my gorgeous Georgie Girl....
A sexy man with my name on his undies and my favourite kind of flower....the red rose. Bless!
Then....the surprise of my life from a very dear old friend and my first love....
3 dozen red roses, a bear named Burt and a balloon. Words can't even describe it. I was shocked to say the least.
Then lastly, whilst enjoying my Valentine's dinner date with my girl, Ronnie, I received this....
A yummy chocolate rose....nom nom nom
It's been a really long time since I've been made to feel so special.
And it got me to thinking - who cares if I'm alone, in terms of a man in my life? Ultimately, it's the love of a friend that is unconditional. I have the most amazing friends in the world. The kind that would die rather than see me with a broken heart or a tear in my eye. The kind that will move mountains to make sure that I feel special on a day that would invariably render me catatonic.
So to those people who made me feel so special and loved and important today, thankyou from the bottom of my heart. And to the others who make me feel special and loved and important every other day, thankyou too. I love you x
Grateful.
