Valentine's Day


This Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something different.


So I bought some erasers,
{pardon my photography skills} 


some lollipops,

 
some chocolate,


 some stickers


some candy,

 
printed a little message,


 
 wrote cards,


 and put them all in little bags.


 
 Then I went around our neighborhood and dropped them in my neighbors' mailboxes.

And you know what? I discovered that once in a while it's good to turn the tables. It's good to give instead of receive. I spent some of my own money and a lot of my time for people I don't know very well, and I know I won't receive credit for it. But today is a day that celebrates love, and part of love is doing nice things for people, even if it requires a lot of work on your part and even if you get nothing in return. So I encourage you to do just that. Do something nice for someone and don't expect anything back. I promise you, it'll be absolutely worth it. :)
