Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
- Victor Hugo -
I don't need a reason to be nice to the people I love or to do something special for them, show them the depth of my feeling, or tell them; it's an everyday thing and always has been. That's why Valentines day is just another day for me and one on which I feel no compulsion to do anything outside of what I'd normally do. I understand though, that it's the social convention to make something of the day, 14th February, though and across the world many will do just that. original im src
I wonder how many messages of love will be written and spoken on the day and how many are stolen borrowed from websites, hallmark or other sources and how many will be original. I know there's many beautiful words of love and devotion available however I believe it's the words that pour out from within a person, to the person they love, that mean the most.
It's with that in mind I thought to challenge the community to drop a comment in this post, a Valentines Day message of love, or whatever it is one chooses to say, for us to consider.
Taking the time to tell those we love and care for that we love and care for them, how much they mean to us or simply that we're grateful to have them in our lives is of such value to them, nd ourselves. It feels good and it should be an everyday thing.
I believe none of us should need to be externally-motivated to tell someone we love them or how much they mean to us and that's why Valentines Day isn't much of a thing for me. Telling people how we feel, positively feel, should be something we want to do readily no matter what day it is. I hope some of you agree and I hope a few choose to get involved with this little engagement concept.
