It’s all ads for jewelry and special dinner-date menus and red lacy lingerie and red roses.My ex-husband moved out right around Valentine’s Day six years ago.

But I managed to do a few things that made me feel a lot better, and I’ve continued doing them since my divorce.Thank goodness this is a thing now. Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. We have lots of love for our girlfriends. After all, they are the ones who are there when we are going through the thick of it and struggling with everyday life. They are the ones we can vent to without judgment.
Plan a dinner out, a potluck, or head to the spa. Even if you can only manage a walk together to catch up, celebrating Galentine’s Day is a great way to mark the day.This has become one of my favorite family rituals. We always go out for Chinese, and I get them a little something to open while we are there. It doesn’t have to be on the exact day, but it’s a special winter treat all of us look forward to.
Maybe there’s a pair of earrings you’ve been coveting or you’d like to get a new rug for the living room.

Yes, Valentine’s Day is just another day on the calendar and there will be some people out there who won’t understand why it’s hard for you to be single. But never mind them because it’s not for them to understand.
