Happy Valentine’s Day. Today is the day to celebrate love. Acts made with love, and acts made with the absence of love, are what have created all of history. Thankfully, love still prevails. Most of the actions taken in our homes, and in our communities, and in our cities, and in our countries, and in our world, still have the basis of the energy of love. Love is what sustains us. Love is the only thing that will sustain us.
Today, let’s all of us plant seeds of love wherever we go. Focus on the good. Focus on what we love about our family, our friends, our neighbors, our everyday lives and ourselves. Show love to our family, to our friends, to our neighbors, and to ourselves. Appreciate the good in our everyday routines and in the lives we have created for ourselves. Be in awe of these people and creatures and things and vocations that make up the days of our lives. Feel love for our family, for our friends, for our neighbors, for our coworkers, and for ourselves. Allow our family, our friends, our neighbors and ourselves to love us. Let love in. Keep the doors of our hearts open. It’s a gift to feel and to show love for someone or something, and to also feel the joy of them receiving this love gratefully. Celebrate the love that we have for the lives which we have created for ourselves, and for the voracious, abundant life teeming all around us. Love is overflowing and robust. Love teems. Today, on this day in which we publically celebrate love, let’s all plant some more seeds of love, to keep this Garden of Life teeming and growing and blooming and blessing all creatures who are sustained by the everlasting energy of Love. Love is the only thing that will sustain us forevermore.
(And I can’t let this Valentine’s Day pass without saying how much I love to write this daily blog, and how much it means to me, for you, my readers and witnesses, to be part of it. I love my blog. And I love you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.)
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Kelly,
I loved your words and thoughts today.
Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday!
So little needs to be done for others to feel appreciated and love. I always feel that there are low expectations on Valentine’s Day, most people aren’t expecting much, so everything is appreciated.
It is a good day to celebrate LOVE…in simple ways.
Hope yours is a Happy love-filled day!
PS I am grateful for your blog and I look forward to reading it everyday, so thank YOU!
Awww, thank you, Joan. My heart is filled. <3
Happy Valentines/Galentines/Palentines Day! (choose your preferred version!)
Today I woke up to a water heater on the fritz and a panicked client calling me from Chicago because they misread the deadline for a project, which, as it turns out, is due today. And I thought I had the day free except for a haircut appointment, which I am SO looking forward to!
My round-about point is that today I have been gifted with opportunities to spread love by exercising patience and quelling someone else’s fears. I didn’t expect those opportunities, but I’m happy to deliver on them. I can make this Valentine’s Day special for other people, and that is a gift in and of itself. You never know what the universe will bring! Enjoy your day!
That’s a beautiful way to consider your situation, Kelly! <3
Here’s a fun follow up to yesterday’s comments (no need to reply):
Last night I was flipping through Instagram and I ran across a post from my hairdresser. I had brought her a little bag of jellybean hearts tied with a velvet ribbon, and she posted a photo of it with the caption “My clients are the best!” So, I achieved my goal of making someone else’s Valentine’s a special day!
