The holidays, from Christmas to Valentine’s Day are supposed to be happy time. We are supposed to be cheerful. We are supposed to be partying and shopping. We are supposed to be enjoying every last minute of what many singles consider to be both the happiest and saddest day of the year – Valentine’s Day.
If you are single and searching, the holidays can be a real downer. But you can change all that! You can take control of Valentine’s Day right now, and turn it into something special without a date, without a mate, without the perfect partner. How? Take charge of the day.
Begin now.
1. Make reservations at an extravagant restaurant. Is there a man or woman in your life whom you would like to date, but don’t dare ask? This is the time to take the chance with a suggestion that you dine out lavishly. What have you got to lose? If he or she says “no” then use the evening to treat yourself and your best friend to a fabulous supper. Pay for it for both of you. Create the memory for yourself. You’re worth it.
2. Find the best tasting cappuccino in town. Then invite someone whom you have been meaning to get together with to join you. Set a definite time and date. Perhaps this is an opportunity to forget a past hurt and mend a fence.
3. Create a “pot luck present party” for a hospital or social service organization. Have everyone bring a favorite dish and an appropriate gift for an adult or child.
4. Plan an “out of character” event maybe two or three, that will give you a loving spirit. Serve a meal at a shelter. Bring gifts to an eldercare center. Sign up to volunteer for at least six month as a love gift to an organization that needs your help.
