Oh, happy day!!! Oh, happy day!! I hope you all feel as loved as I do today! My sweet hubby came home from shift (he’s a firefighter) with 24 roses in his hands. What a wonderful man I married!!
A couple shots of the flowers I received from my husband this morning! Aren't they beautiful.
I know some of you might be feeling a little anti-valentine’s day, and I don’t blame you. I use to feel that way a bit and those feelings usually come when we don’t have a significant other to share the day with. I am not a fan of the commercialism of it. I mean, do we really need a “holiday” to remind us to say I love you?! NOPE!
Well, once you get beyond any bitter feelings that you might have (and I’m not a negative person, I’m just stating the reality of the feelings we have, they simply aren’t all warm and fuzzy), remember that it’s a day just like all the rest…..all 365 of them. A day in which we should be expressing our love to one another. As a mother, a daughter, a brother, a friend, a lover, a father, a co-worker, a pet owner, a garbage collector, a bee catcher, a professor, a pastor, a truck driver, (get my point) all of us alike should be sending out love on a daily basis. Fortunately for us, love can be expressed in a multitude of ways. I love you does not only come in a card or a box of chocolates or even in 2 dozen roses. Those are the “extras”, the “bonus points” that make your heart smile just a little bigger.
But truly at the center of it all is love! Love IS what makes the world go ’round. It’s why we get up in the morning. It’s really the only reason to take another breath, as we go about our busy days. It’s our greatest gift in life; our great gift from God.
So go out and tell someone you love them and tell them that EVERY day!!!
With much love,
~Maija
