Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.
~Jean Anouilh
Today is a day to celebrate love. When we break down all the emotions we can feel, we basically can narrow them down to two. Yes, only two! Those emotions are Love and Fear. Everything stems from those two feelings be it happiness, joy, hurt, anger, etc. Love and Fear ~ that's it. So why not celebrate Love! Why not look at all of the things that bring you joy in your life for they are also bringing you love. Don't try and fit love into a heart shaped candy box or a stuffed animal for it is so much deeper than that. Love is all around you. Connecting to other people is a form of love. Playing with your pets is a form of love. Laughing with your co-workers is a form of love. Our culture has tried to wrap love up and present it in a pretty red bow for us but that's not fair to that emotion. Today of all days, let us stop and take inventory of the love we all can experience from all areas of our lives if we just let it in. Let go of expectations and don't run and hide from the expressions of love all around you. Feel it, take it all in. You just might find this Valentine's Day is the best one yet if you finally allow love in from many different angles and always remember, I HEART YOU!
