- The slow increase in daylight since December 21 becomes obvious on Valentine’s Day.
- My afternoon will not be spent supervising a roomful of students on major sugar highs.
- Our monthly writers’ critique group meets tonight, which means the evening will be spent with some of my favorite people.
- I’m going out to lunch with my husband and mom, the two people who have known me the longest, seen me at my worst, and stick by me anyway.
- Coconut, caramel, maple nut, and peanut butter-filled chocolates.
