With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I'm feeling aglow with the emphasis on love and friendship all around me. Normally at this time of year De Beers would be running tennis bracelet commercials on all the networks, but in 2009 the recessionary climate has shifted the advertising of presents to celebrate Cupid from diamonds to DIY. The absence of these commercial trappings makes focusing on the actual relationships with your spouse, friends and family that much easier. Midwinter is a great time to spark new friendships and remind your loved ones how much you care about them. I think simplicity and sincerity is the theme to pursue this Valentine's Day.
Together Greg and I enjoy routine, but we're trying out something new for both of us this February 14th (more about that in a later post). For those of you interested in trying something new with your beau, the Alberta Art Gallery in Enterprise Square offers drop-in-art classes ($10 a pop) on Thursday evenings from 7-9 pm. Each class is instructed by a professional artist and includes all supplies. The classes this month focus on drawing emotions, figure drawing and printmaking. Wouldn't dinner out at The Blue Plate Diner followed by an art class make a fun date night?
