Valentine’s Day Is All About Love

For anyone living alone. Some are alone by choice and some by circumstance, but almost all of them have a little pang of loneliness on this day when it seems everyone else in the whole world has someone special to celebrate with. Whatever you have planned with your own sweetie, work in an extra hour to do something special for one of those single friends (more than one, if you can manage). Drop by in the late afternoon with your kids and have them deliver a bouquet. Take a plate of homemade brownies and an IOU for movie night soon. Surprise them with an impromptu tea party; bring a teapot, a selection of teas, and cookies. Leave a nosegay tied to the front door, with a note from “your secret admirer.”
