Valentine's Day

MML #12: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day. Single's Awareness Day. Hallmark Heart Day.

Call it whatever you want, but I have officially decided that, despite the fact that I have never been anything but single on this day (or any other day for that matter), I love Valentine's Day. And why shouldn't I?

Every year single people dread this holiday, and even some of us who are fortunate enough to have a significant other dread it as well, because there seems to be this idea of pressure related to this holiday. But I have decided no more. Valentine's Day is about love, pure and simple. And love - if not romance - is something that I have a great abundance of in my life. I have several very close and good friends, as well as a large extended family that I adore, spread out all over the country and the globe.

No. Love is not something I long for. It is something I already have, and something I choose to give. And as for romance... I'm going to keep my eyes open and trust that God has a plan for me (and hopefully will fill me in on it soon, haha).

Everyone have a great day!
