People love to be in love. They love a day to celebrate that love. Valentine's Day definitely fits the bill. It's a day when we think about our significant other in a way that helps to renew our love. We think about all the traits they have that we love. We remember the first time we met, our first kiss and why we love that person. Its a day to renew our love without all the worries of everyday life. We suspend our normal lives in time, so we can be happy about our love. Some of us even take the time to let our kids and parents know we love them too. What says I love you more than chocolate, flowers and jewelry, staples of this sacred day? Maybe it's that perfect valentines card that expresses your inner most feelings. Its truly a wonder that this day continues to be a time of reflection and introspect for the ones we love, that in this day and age it can carry the weight it does in our lives. I must admit it still makes me giddy to think about the flowers that will arrive from my husband and the wonderful cards that are a testament to the love we share. We always have a special dinner to end the day. I hope that this day continues through time and can remain true to what it accomplishes, a day to remember who we love and why, to celebrate the love and nothing else. As we all know tomorrow comes soon enough will all the realities of bills, dirty laundry, forgotten anniversaries and all the other things that test our love. I am glad we still have Valentines Day, even the name sounds romantic.......thank goodness for the elixir of romance, we all need some once in a while......
