Valentines is actually a ploy by florists, chocolate makers and the postal service! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Today’s Gratitude Item: A wonderful date. The dried fruit kind, not the romantic encounter. Turns out that dates are a great source of energy – sweet and very very good.
Regarding the “ploy”, don’t forget the greeting card companies. At least the chocolate tastes good 😀
