Valentine’s Day is next week, which means a big focus on showing the people you care about, how much you love and appreciate them.
A friend of mine pointed out that it is just as important to love and appreciate yourself – and that is so true!
Even better, was a suggestion I heard to give the gift of avoiding any sweets, whatsoever.
Simply because just about every store we walk into says that February 14 is a day for chocolate – is that really a must?
Well, I must admit I gave these suggestions considerable thought.
I’m all for showing myself some extra love and appreciation – along with my spouse.
I think that’s actually a lovely idea.
I also love the suggestion to honor Valentine’s Day some other way, something that does not involve chocolate, or sweets of any kind.
In the end, however, I decided that I’d rather have a little something sweet and chocolaty – in a healthy kind of way, I might add.
So, what will be on the dessert menu in my house?
