Valentine's Day is just a few days away and it is making me think about all of the rushing around that people will do to find the right card, candy, and gift for that special someone.

Since Valentine's Day is considered a romantic day and a day to celebrate love with someone you care about or love, it makes me wonder how many people genuinely enjoy this day of love, or how many people just feel pressured into participating so they don't hurt someone's feelings.

Perhaps the best thing is to make sure that you have a good healthy dose of self-love.  To quote Oscar Wilde, "To love oneself is the start of a life long romance."  When you have self-love and a healthy sense of self-esteem, you can give and receive heartfelt love every day of the year.
