Ways To Have The
Happiest Valentine's Day Ever!
(Even When You're Alone)
The
thought of Valentine’s Day conjures up romantic evenings, a candlelight
dinner, and long walks with your loved one. It is, without a doubt
the most romantic day of the year. So how could you possibly be
expected to enjoy Valentine’s Day when you’re alone? Well, while
it might not be all hearts and flowers, you can still spread the
message of Valentine’s Day: Love.
Over the years, I’ve interviewed numerous people and asked them
what their favorite Valentine’s Day memory was. Surprisingly,
very few couples actually mentioned a gift or a special night
out. In fact, most of the people I interviewed remembered their
special Valentine’s Day by things they did for others. Gifts they
gave, whether they were store bought or home made, gave them an
unforgettable feeling of joy and happiness.
Surprise
Someone
Sometimes
we get so wrapped up in our daily chores, that we often forget
that children need to be remembered too.Teenagers
often feel left out on Valentine’s Day, but a handsome Colorado
man gave two giggling teenagers a Valentine’s Day they will never
forget.
Geoff was
working on a resort property trimming trees, and noticed there
were two smitten teenage girls sitting on the balcony watching
him while he was working.Geoff
knew he would be finished on February 13th, and thought he would
he would surprise them with a dozen red roses on Valentine’s Day,
and signed it, "The Tree Trimming Guy."
The girls
were thrilled, and were still talking about it four years later!
Geoff ranks that day as his all time favorite Valentine’s Day.Making
someone happy (especially when it’s unexpected) has a euphoric
effect on you too. It’s happiness shared twice.
Cheer Someone
Up
Is it possible
to have a happy Valentine’s Day even when you are breaking up?
If you have a sister like Linda, you can. Linda’s sister was going
through a divorce in February, and she was heartbroken and distraught.
On that Valentine’s Day, Linda secretly sent her flowers at her
office, and signed the card, “From your Secret Admirer.”
As soon as
her sister received them she called Linda and said, “Oh my God,
you will never believe what just happened, I got these beautiful
flowers today, but I have no idea who they are from!” Linda had
all she could do to keep from laughing, and giving away her little
secret. Linda’s sister went on to say that the entire office was
trying to figure out who her secret admirer could be. Linda was
happy that she could give her sister a happy Valentine’s Day even
when she was facing unhappy times.
Yes, it is possible to have a great Valentine’s Day, even when
things are looking a little dismal. Here are a few ways you can
share your love this holiday.
5 Ways
to the Happiest Valentine’s Day Ever
1. Send a heartfelt Valentine Card to someone who has really
inspired you and tell them how much they mean to you.
2. Make a homemade Valentine Card and send it to your favorite
relative you haven’t seen in a while.
3. Send flowers or candy to someone who doesn’t have a sweetheart,
and sign it anonymous.
4. Make a Valentine’s Basket and send it to a family that has
gone through a difficult time and sign it, From Your Guardian
Angel.
5. Take your little niece, nephew, or cousin out for ice cream.
Giving is
the fastest way to feel good about yourself. It doesn’t have to
be expensive, even a single hand picked flower will do. Anything
coming from the heart will surely be felt and appreciated. It’s
two gifts in one. One is for the recipient and even a bigger gift
for you.
