Take time to start new love tradition for your valentine

To the editor:

Valentine's Day is fast approaching. It's time for sweet sentiments. Here are a few suggestions of nostalgia to arouse the feeling of love:

Take time for a child to make a decorated box to receive those love messages.

Take time for a special youngster who is a middle child to know he or she isn't forgotten. I'm 54 years old, but I still cherish the last valentine my father gave me at age 16. There isn't a dollar amount great enough to purchase that card.

We can move on to that son or daughter who's away from home and would love to hear he or she is loved and appreciated.

Maybe there will be a special meal for the love of your life.

Then there are other things to do to make live better for our special love. How about running a nice hot tub with soothing bubble bath, candlelight and something warm to drink? Or maybe a special book your love has asked for?

I'm sure there are many more ways of expressing our love. May this be the beginning of a new tradition in your life, your home and your community. What better time than this to bring out the sweet in all of us? Let's be among the now generation, making love memories as we go on our way.
