Valentine's Day is coming!
I've been hearing this for a few weeks now. Probably ever since Super Bowl XXXVIII. I've witnessed some interesting reactions to this too.
First, there is my girlfriend. She just tells me how Valentine's Day is going to go down -- at least as far as she knows. Suprises are, of course, always welcome.
Then there are the single girls that I know. These are the dreaders. I've heard from quite a few of them. They make some sort of preparatory pact, plans, etc. or they dread the fact that they are single and curse the holiday that is currently reminding them of their singleness.
Tonight I noticed a third type of reaction. It was pretty cool. Instead of making plans, dreading, or any of that stuff these single girls decided to take it upon themselves to give all their male friends a cool message and some candies.
I think this is so much better of a reaction. Instead of thinking about themselves and the impact of the holiday on their lives, these girls thought of the holiday as an opportunity to express some sisterly love.
Inspiring!
