Happy Valentine's Day!

Earlier this week marked 1 year that my husband and I have been separated.  It is hard to believe that 1 year has passed and that we still maintain our friendship and that our girls are doing well.  For these things, I am truly thankful.

So, how do I feel about tomorrow being Valentine's Day and I don't have a love interest? Truthfully, I am fine with that.  It is not because I would not want a love interest, Of Course I Do!  Humans were designed to love and be loved.  There are a few reasons why I am good.  When my husband and I were together, I knew when Valentine's Day and Mother's Day came without looking at a calendar.  Those were the twice a year rituals in which  I was given flowers. Not husband bashing here, just being honest.  I would tell him please don't give me flowers just on these days and not any other time of the year.  So, I really don't miss that. I believe that you should not wait until there is a special occasion to show a person how much you care about them. If you show your significant other signs of affection throughout the year, Valentine's Day would then be that extra special something.   Also,  I don't want to rush into a relationship with a man just to say I'm in a relationship.  When the time is right, I know it will happen. I would rather be patient and wait a bit longer and meet the right man rather than connect with any just any man to fill that void.  I focus on positive things and goals I want to accomplish so I won't get caught up in anything crazy that I would regret later.  

To all of the couples, please remember to show love and appreciation to each other often. Congratulations to those who already do! If you don't, why not start today?  You have nothing to lose and so much more to gain.  Last but surely not least, for my separated brothers and sisters, you are loved so much more than you could ever know. Please always remember to love yourself so you can give love to someone else.
