My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that seems to be commercially geared towards those who celebrate coupleship; leaving some of those who are single to feel left out, depressed, and having thoughts of sticking their head into a gas oven without the pilot lit.
I can’t tell you how many people have said to me this year, “I hate Valentine’s Day because it’s a constant reminder that I’m alone, without someone to love or love me.”
I find this puzzling and utterly sad.
I’ve been single for over 20 years, yet I’ve never once allowed Valentine’s Day to make me feel alone or unloved because I’m not in a relationship with a partner.
Valentine’s Day to me is a celebration of love of all kinds, not just love as it pertains to having a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a husband or wife.
Valentine’s Day is about LOVE. Period.
Perhaps I’m strange, but I always feel love.
The love I share with my family.
The love I share with my friends.
The love I share when a baby smiles at me.
The love I share while witnessing a beautiful sunset.
And the love I share with myself.
I may be single, but I’m not alone or unloved.
On the contrary, I’m blessed with an abundance of love and companionship.
So, if you’re one of those single people who feels left out on Valentine’s Day, I ask that you notice just how much love you have in your life.
And I bet you’re blessed too……
Happy Heart-On Day Everyone!
