It’s probably the next most wonderful time of the year. It comes at a close second to Christmas, as people all over gear up for this special occasion. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s the day laden with dozens of red roses and that proverbial box of chocolates.
If you find yourself alone on this day, it’s hardly the time to wallow in despair. There are a million and one things you can do to have fun on this day.
Gather a few of your friends together for a night- or afternoon- of bonding at your place. Bring whatever type of food you like, throw in some drinks, and you’re good to go. Start polishing those canon cameras and capture the fun of the moment. If you’re pressed for time, you can instead have a quick lunch with your friends at a quaint restaurant.
If your hubby is away, and it’s just you and the kids together on Valentine’s Day, you can devote an entire day to them. If you’re strapped for cash, you can simply hang out at home with a few DVDs and board games. If you feel like going out, you can hit the local science museum or art gallery and introduce your kids to an “anti-mall” kind of adventure.
Let your imagination roam. You can surely come up with more ideas to spend time with your loved ones. Valentine’s Day is all about love, anyway.
Being a wife of an OFW, definitely I will be alone on this day…but I am hopeful for something…perhaps a surprise from hubby even if his miles away….LOL…
