This time last year I
was celebrating my birthday in style... Deep blue sea style. I snorkeled, played in the sand and soaked in
the sweet salt air far away from black balloons and older than dirt jokes. IT-WAS-WONDERFUL.
Today I’m wishin I could rewind the
hands of time for an instant replay and to be granted a couple of do-overs that
life doesn’t usually afford. I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. I remember
going to the stores in February as a wee one and being mesmerized by the
stuffed bears, cards, candy and decorations. My Momma would tell me that the
stores brought Valentine stuff in so everyone could celebrate my birthday. There
you go! That’s where the “It’s all about me” mentality originated. People who
have birthdays around Christmas and New Year’s feel cheated, but I love having
my birthday on Valentine’s Day. Even if I do say so myself, my birthday fits me
perfectly. All the romantic sentiments and decorations couldn’t be more Jackie-ish. The fact that it’s a day of celebrating love,
friendship and all things sweet, is just an added bonus. I’d like to scoop all
of my friends and family up in a great big stuffed bear hug and wish each and
everyone of you a Happy Valentine’s Day. Go out and LOVE with no regrets.
