Everyone expects this big bang of a write up for Valentines day. And since it’s considered the worse day of a single girls year I am expected to describe the bitterness and loneliness that comes with this great celebration of love. But I'm not gonna do that.
I love it.
I love the end of the Valentine’s workday! Women are exiting the building, flowers and chocolate in hand. Nothing says “I love you” quite like a public display of it. I love when my friends tell me about the gifts and the surprise work visits and the terribly cooked dinners. Even though it reminds me of something that was lost or something that was a reality for me a million years ago, I revel in it and smile at the love that still happens around me. I observe the ladies blush after more than 10 years with the same man. I see the excitement of still being adored, appreciated and thought of even though a week ago she threw the remote at him. And it makes me smile with a deep sense of hopefulness and faith that someday that will be me.
And as love blooms all around me its nice to be reminded that such a thing still exists.
Have a happy love filled day!
Happy Valentine’s day
