Big Old Mushy Message
Say what you will about overly commercial holidays (hey, we're in marketing, folks), but I like Valentine's Day. It's nice to take a moment and recognize the folks who are special in our lives.
So, Happy Valentine's Day to my husband and two kids. You guys not only make me feel special, you bring out the best in me and you tolerate the worst.
You tolerate me when I'm frazzled, bummed, harried and barking about "just asking that SOMEONE to pick up their stuff around here." You push me out the door when I'm anxious about something at work and welcome me home when I've spent the night teaching or at a meeting that lasted far too long.
But better than all that, you are the guys who inspire me. You teach me every day what it means to be a better person. I may not live up to it, but you're still trying to throw a few lessons my way …and I thank you for it. Happy V-Day!
