Be your own Valentine.On Valentine's Day, or any time of the year, take the time to treat yourself. You know how to come up with the perfect gift or surprise for a loved one... but how well do you know yourself?

What is your perfect, private treat? Wrapping up in a shawl before a fire with cocoa and a good book? A luxurious hot bath in a darkened room made magical with a touch of incense and candlelight and the soft strains of beautiful music? Time spent aimlessly people-watching in the park or on the beach?

If someone came to you for advice, asking in a confidential whisper what would be a special, simple, decadent luxury for this person who is you, what would you tell them?

The planning itself can be half the fun. The beauty is in the details-- candles or sunlight? how much and where?... fragrance? perfume, incense, the homey aromas of your favorite food or your favorite scent from nature?... blessed silence or glorious sound?... a treat to occupy the mind or a chance to let it wander where it will?...

Well?

What are you waiting for...?
