Love Has Many Faces

Happy Valentine’s Day!  Before I get into that, let me apologize for not writing my blog the last few weeks.  Life got in the way, and I didn’t plan for it as well as I could have.  And today, I am trying to get this blog posted before we go tour some houses for sale.
 
Anyway, enough of stressful topics.  Let’s get back to happier thoughts.  Are you doing anything special for Valentine’s Day?  My husband and I are watching our two granddaughters tonight so our son and his wife can have a nice evening.  For us, it will be enough of a celebration to spend time with the girls.  For my son and daughter-in-law, it will be enough of a celebration to spend a quiet evening together without having to watch two active girls.  The younger one is eight months old now, and rolls all over the place.  The two-year-old is pretty quick on her feet.  But with two adults to wrangle two children, I think we’ll be OK!  Either way, it will be fun.
 
What are you doing today?  Anything special?  I was just wondering if mine is the only perspective on Valentine’s Day which has changed over the years.  When I was younger, flowers or chocolates were a nice gift.  Now, while I wouldn’t turn either of those down, I’d rather spend the evening with my granddaughters.  Has anyone else noticed the same type of transition?  Does it mean we are getting old, or that, with greater wisdom, we simply appreciate different things?  I prefer to think it’s the latter.  Spending time with people I love is a great way to spend any day of the year.


Picture of heart with word love many times
When you think about it, it is really too bad we only dedicate one day a year to such a powerful and life-changing emotion.  In all of its forms, for all of the different people we know, love is one of the greatest forces in our lives.  There is a good reason why romance authors write their stories and why readers gobble them up.  Most people recognize how bleak the world would be without love.  It can literally change lives.
 
So, I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day.  I hope it is full of the things which make you happy.  Whether that be romance, chocolate, a night out, or simply some quiet time to read a good story by your favorite author.  Or spending time with people you love.  Happy Valentine’s Day.
