Oh no it’s that time of year again! Valentines Day, is here.
I feel a different mood this year, a feeling of acceptance. Gone are the days when I hide away and cry, feeling very sorry for myself. I do choose to be single after all.
I feel like the love scrooge has gone, so no more bah humbugs or comments like….. “Young love…..yuk!” “Do you have to do that in front of me? Oh please!.... There are children watching.” “I give it 6 months.”
I don’t feel like I want to bite off the head of anyone who dares make the comment…. “Don’t worry I’m sure you will find your soul mate soon, just like I have.” Or “How long have you been single now? Don’t you think it’s time to get back on the horse?”
Yes I know it has been a long time healing my past, but I’ll get back on the horse……maybe never. My choice.
I watched a friend start a new relationship a few months ago and I feel so blessed to be around them, to feel the love they have for each other. So I am embracing that today……feeling the love and wishing all the lovers out there a Happy Valentines day!
I’m going to go out and buy myself and my daughter a Valentines Day gift. I know you can’t fill a void with ‘stuff’…..it’s symbolic, a gift to myself. Then I am going to sit with my girl, and watch a soppy romantic movie. Surprisingly, there beats the heart of a true romantic within me…..who loves happy endings and always cries.
So to all the singles out there…. I’ll be holding you in my thoughts and in my heart. I know how hard today can be for the broken hearted or just those who choose to be single in a society that expects coupling.
Grab a box of tissues and join me! You can pick the movie.

luckily valentine’s day is not so much a big deal in my neck of the woods, making it easy to cruise by.. I heard on a news show yesterday that V-day is no longer just for lovers but for all kinds of love. Could just be a marketing strategy but I do like the thought ;-) here’s to a happy valentine’s for you & your girl <3
A day to celebrate love…..I like the thought of that too!
We had a great day, and spoiled ourselves a little. It was a day to be gentle and forgiving.
I’m glad it can be cruisey for you too Tara.
Wishing you a good one!
I am sooooooooo glad it’s over. I spent it WAY in the back of my cave. And then burst out filled with joy (it was raining and willows love rain!) and romped and played with the dogs, and ate an ENTIRE box of Belgium chocolates with my Mom, and we sent prayers and light and love back and forth across the skies. Yeah. A day to celebrate Love. It was, wasn’t it?
v day is now long and gone and another one bites the dust, so onto to something new. I am glad you had your daughter to spend your day with.
love, jen
