So maybe it's an artificial tradition foisted on us by commercialized interests in the floral, restaurant, and greeting card businesses. But Valentine's Day can be a good opportunity to reflect on the blessings of those we love and the joy they bring to our lives.Bonnie fixed me an omelet for breakfast and then we enjoyed a pretty normal Saturday, but after Matt left for work (busy day at Los Hermanos for him), things quieted down. I enjoy fixing dinner when I have time, and today was an ideal day to experiment. I made almond-encrusted halibut, wild rice, asparagus with balsamic vinegar (yum), spinach and fresh raspberries salad, and crescent rolls. We enjoyed sharing the meal by candlelight — how romantic!
Bonnie and I enjoyed the dinner, then watched a movie on TV together. It was a delightfully pleasant evening to share, and a great chance to appreciate each other. I'm so very grateful for my sweetie and her part in my life! But I don't have enough chances to show that appreciation. We realized that we'll soon have many more opportunities for this kind of thing, since we're now down to less than a month until "MTC Day."
