FLOWERS, CHOCOLATES, AND THE HEART OF FENG SHUI Written By Kim Klein
There is a certain holiday, all pink and red, wine and roses, Hallmark cards and hearts. And while many people love this day, it seems that oftentimes their partners block it from their minds until the drive home, and then, a quick stop at the supermarket where they luckily pick up one of the last bouquets of mixed flowers, a rather generic greeting card and maybe even a box of those horrible store-bought chocolates. Yes, you know the ones. If you’re in a loving relationship, it’s a day to show your partner appreciation, to get romantic. To turn your back on the day-to-day responsibilities and small irritants and revel in each other’s love and admiration. But if you’re single, whether by choice or by circumstance, it can be a rather dreaded occasion as you sit home downing a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey and watch reruns of Sex and the City.
