To all of those with loved ones and without. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!!!
Today is supposed to be the day of love, but love has many disguises. Just because you may not be with a special someone today does not mean that you do not have love in your life. So, smile today no matter what and know that somewhere someone loves you, even if it is just your loyal little lap dog.
And for those that do not want to view this as a day of love, check this out.

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men -- his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

So Valentine's does not have to be a day for love. It can be a day to celebrate that you believe in something strongly and you have the heart to stand up for what you believe in.
