Yes, some call it Valentine's Day, but to you maybe its Single Awareness Day! You are probably wondering ''what in the world is she getting at?'' right??? I love being married and having a Sweetheart, but I know what it's like not having anyone! Maybe this is a time when you really struggle with contentment (and try quoting on your facebook status the verses on contentment or in a blog post, maybe :D...not that I've noticed this this year, but hey, it may be true!). I want to encourage you for a few minutes or seconds depending on how fast a reader you are...haha...some ideas about enjoying Valentine's ''Singly''!
1. Start your day right...Get in God's Word and pray! We are the bride of Christ, by getting in His Word, we are getting to know Him, our true Love who gave Himself for you!
2. Fix yourself up! Why should all those gals that have dates look better than you??? If nothing else, you represent the Lord Jesus Christ!
3. Try a new hairstyle...curl it, straighten it, pull it up, wear it down...
4. Paint those toenails and/or fingernails! Pink or red! Or maybe a frenchie???
5. Wear something bright and cheery...not black or grey, but add some color!
6. Smile!!!!! Don't mope around!
7. Spend time with your family...plan a special supper...I know one blogger was going to have a red supper, watch a favorite movie....bake cookies...decorate them
8. Do something special for someone...when you are feeling down, the best thing to do is to take your mind off yourself and do something or pray for someone else!
9. Journal good thoughts...nothing negative! Find one good thing that the Lord has done for you on that day!
10. Treat yourself...if your dieting, get that treat you've been wanting! (Just for this day!;D) and Smile!

I can't wait for Valentine's Day this year. I made my husband a blanket (since he's always taking mine ha!) as a surprise. It's hidden upstairs in a suitcase.
Thank you so much for this post Jennifer.
These are neat tips! Although at the time I'm not worrying about being single (give me a few more years...:D) I really liked the tips you gave.
Valentines Day is my mom & dad's anniversary!
