- some love it and drive in whole heartedly
- some hate it and seem to become bitter
- some just dont care
- some just hide
Yes i am talking about valentines day... Feb 14th is fast coming upon us and the shops are stocked full of cards, chocolates and flowers along with what is claimed to be romantic in the shape of soft toys with the colour red on.
Now as a self confessed singleton, i will let you in into a secret, each year i wonder if the next valentines day will hold that 'special' someone for me, and each year comes and goes. Im not bitter or angry about this, although i have been in the past! But i have come to realise that like any other day of the year it is what you place on in yourself that matters. It isnt what is in the shops, nor on facebook that makes something loving or caring. Its up to the person to make that act of declaring love (or friendship) that makes its work.
The same with any other fesitval or ritual we hold, Christmas means Christmas to so many different ideals, and each year i seek something new in understanding Christ's birthday. Like wise Christians have communion, a symbolic act to remember Jesus' death and scarifice, well at least it is for me, and thats my point. It is what we do and how we interact what something that makes it matter and how it matters.
(Now i know there are somethings that stand that can not be changed, like the fact Christmas for Christians is about the birth of Jesus, and therefore while we might seek different understandings the fact it is the belief that Jesus was born remains the same)
so back to Valentines day... my point is that no matter how you feel about it, single or coupled up, it is what you make it like any other day of your life, like any other act you take part in.
So i am taking inspiration from my last three love hearts i ate today...
I plan to use this Valentines time to bless my angels, my friends...
Love to you all
