Spread the Love

Valentine's Day and everyday isn't just about chocolates and pink and red and lovers - there's more. Remember the other people, and make their day complete.

* Remember your first love? It was mom, or dad, or Aunt Ann. Don't forget your old loves, those who have stuck by you and without whom you couldn't have made it this far. Send them a Valentine - and let them know how much they're loved.

* Now YOU are your kids' first love. Show them you love them - leave sweet (and healthy) treats and pretty little cards and gifts for them. But most of all, tell them "I love you." This is your chance, and they'll love you back.

* Friends, family, neighbors and more. You might go out to a romantic dinner with the ONE, but don't forget the ones who have always been there for you. Homebaked cookies or just a little time to say thank you.

* What about everyone else? There are millions of others without anyone to love them. They sit around in nursing homes, in homeless shelters, in battered women's shelters, in orphanages, in animal shelters. Take a moment and visit them - say hi, and show them you care. So many people in your life love you - now spread it to even more.

* Yourself. You're not loving anyone else until you love yourself. Take a good long look and know that you have lots of love to offer the world and that you truly deserve it all.
