As the shortest month of the year, February is bound to go fast! Punctuate February with Valentine’s Day and make it count:
Valentine’s Day on February 14th is a day where loved ones acknowledge each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or chocolates. These are wonderful gifts and we’re offering a few more ideas:
- Write a love letter
- Send a meaningful poem or song
- Create a moment – build a fire, open a special wine, make dinner together, or have a date night
If you don’t have a ‘lover’ right now, consider who is extra special in your life. Express your love to them … a dear friend or relative will appreciate your sentiment!
Happy Valentine’s Day …. Everyone!

Lighten up with laughter. Do your heart a favor and look for laughs. Hang out with friends who make you laugh (you know who they are!).
Rosanne and Liz started a dinner club with other couples from their children’s schools. They schedule dinner once a month. The host family provides the main course, and the other couples bring appetizers, side dishes, and dessert. By the end of the evening, there’s been so much fun, “Our cheeks get lots of exercise!” shares Liz.
This is one of the tips in the “Health” section of our book, Better Because of You. Ginny & I were able to share this story yesterday, when we were guests of CBS-San Antonio’s morning TV show, Great Day SA. Rosanne and Liz were in the studio audience, as we shared their story, and others from our book.
Here’s a wonderful picture of the entire group after the show, including neighbors that are part of Pam’s “Dog Walking” group (page 17 of the book – Take a Hike!).
I’m blessed to consider these special ladies as my friends. They are a wonderful source of joy and laughter – if you don’t believe me – just watch us all play bunko!
“Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.” – Lord Byron
