Valentine's Day: A New And Improved Attitude

So, here we are again. Yet another Valentine's Day for which I am single. Normally, I would bemoan this fact and be in a grumpy mood for the whole day, but seeing as how I'm being more positive in life, I decided I'd do what I do best. Do something nice for someone else.

I give you that something:

I apologize that it's sideways, but I can't figure out how to fix that. If you'd like a better view, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHrtnz69ezM

So, my plan is this: I spent all weekend making this, and I'm going to carry it around with me tomorrow and give it to a stranger. Why a stranger, you ask? I think it must be a stranger because a random act of kindness means more if it's fleeting, unexpected, and from someone you don't know. I don't really have a plan as to how I'm going to pick this stranger, but I'll know when I find him/her. I'll just walk up, maybe introduce myself, maybe tell them what this is all about, then say Happy Valentine's Day and give it to them. The two outcomes I see are 1) I did a nice thing for someone, and they appreciate it or 2) I did a nice thing for someone and they think I'm batshit crazy. Either way, I did a nice thing, which was the whole point.

So, random stranger, I hope you enjoy this, because it took me a hell of a long time to make it. It's not perfect, but that is the unique beauty of handmade items.

And just think, if I spent all this time and work on a stranger, what might I do when I actually have a Valentine? Stay tuned until next year to find out. :)
