Palentine

I know yesterday was Galentine’s Day and today is suppose to be Valentine’s Day, but what about the rest who are celebrating the holiday without romance?

Get together with a buddy or a pal and show your appreciation for each other without concern of getting laid.

Toast each other, share some chocolate covered strawberries, and tell some distant stories of far away relationships that were romantic and maybe some Valentine tales that were memorable.

Could tell the tale of flying a rainbow kite at the beach with the seagulls then being rained on by ham juice or walking to the gazebo above the river for a picnic at the plantation. Could tell of the walk to feeding the ducks while the pipes in the hotel froze or that quiet night watching the meteor showers in the wet grass with the deer. Could tell of the daylong hike to get a rake and ask for an extra seat at Olive Garden. Could tell of the several block hearts path from the bus stop to the house but no one will believe that.

There will be no flowers or heart shaped boxes of chocolate. There will be no Hallmark cards or ‘Sweethearts’ candy or silly sweaters. There will be no handholding or longing looks or deep kisses.

February 14^th will be a day to spend with my pal.
