Humlan, that's exactly how I feel...."another reason to celebrate." One of my goals for the new year was to not see so much in a negative light...things that are meant to be nice but because of my thinking, turn into a hassle. It's usually because I try to do too much which causes me to be negative. I want a better attitude. Valentine's just gives me a reason to celebrate love for a man that I was blessed to find, "warts and all" (after all, I have some, too!!)I realize that at any moment he could be taken away from me and I would have the "if onlys." So I choose to celebrate love and commitment. I don't know what we'll do but it will be low key. And so what if he comes home with grocery store flowers? It will be something that he stopped, perused for the best he could find and has joy in giving. We can hurt feelings so easily by rejecting someone's giving. I wouldn't treat a friend that way, so why would I treat my mate for life that way? Life everyday can be difficult enough. I look forward to celebrating for any reason this year!
