Maybe you got one card and went to one dinner with one person. I’m sure it was a spectacular Valentine’s Day. But (shockingly) I enjoyed mine too.
I bought myself (and a friend) themed cupcakes and cookies. We had dinner together. I got absolutely fabulous messages from three close (but geographically distant friends), a facetime from my nieces, an adorable video message from another friend’s 4 year old, baked goods from my parents, and learned cards I’d sent out were the centerpieces of a number of home valentine’s displays.
This ace very much felt the varied forms of love in our lives this Valentine’s Day and, even better, the people around me seem to be recognizing it too. Slow progress, but progress is finding me. In Hebrew there are multiple words that mean love. Here’s to embracing the different meanings of love and the different relationships in our lives.
