The Super Bowl was yesterday. Two teams that no one expected to be there with young QB's and seriously young Head Coaches.
So it's possible that you may have missed that today is Valentine's day.
It's a traditional celebration of love and lovers. The roots of Valentine's Day goes back to ancient times, when people paid honor to the Roman God of Fertility.
February 14th was formerly thought to be the first day of bird's mating for the season. This sparked the custom of sending valentines to each other.
The traditions of Valentine's Day are broad and many. It is a time to exchange cards or small gifts. Chocolates, flowers, jewelry, and romantic dinners are the big hits of this holiday.
It is a romantic event for lovers, and a fun event for kids and family.
Many a couple become engaged or marry on Valentine's Day. In fact one of the players form yesterday's game got engaged after the game.
However with everything that been going on, did you miss it?
You woke up today and just missed it completely.

If you apologize profusely and if you manage to get to go out to dinner, …almost anywhere, you can still pull it out.
The underlying situations that caused this problem is what you need to reevaluate in your life.
If you’re fortunate enough to be in a relationship you shouldn’t let the pursuit of all those other things get you to the point that you miss this day.
If you’re not in a relationship you’re probably too busy pursuing all those other things and you really need to reevaluate your bigger purpose in life and how many “things” you really need.
Most of those other things can generally be solved with more money.
How much you have, your ability (knowledge and skills) to make more, and how much you’ll need to get and maintain the lifestyle you want is the question, the problem and the answer.
After you enjoy some time with your significant other today, give it some thought so you can make the changes you need to you don’t miss another Valentine’s Day.
