 Yes, Wednesday this week is the day so many single-again women hate. But, there really is no reason to feel that way. It’s all about choice. It’s about how we treat ourselves. It’s about the love we can share with others. Valentine’s Day is about love. Period. Who says it has to be about a couple relationship? It is about expressing love to close friends, sisters, brothers, children, neighbors, parents, even co-workers.


Have fun with it! Take a look at these 13 ideas and tips, then add your own:

• Who needs a date? What I need is coffee, now!

• Release tension by jogging, working out, painting, biking, journaling, or playing with your pet.

• When all else fails, remember, it’s just another day on the calendar! Yes, really!

One last truth nugget: God loves you no matter what. . . No doubt about it!

But we don’t need to write to you about the importance of loving each other, for God himself has taught you to love one another. 1 Thessalonians 4:9
