I have been extraordinarily blessed in my life. I have loved deeply and been loved as deeply back. You know from this month's posts I am a hopeless romantic who has read too many happily ever after books, who has seen too many romantic comedies, and who believes the words to any good (or bad) love song. Each person I have loved has been exactly right for the period of time we have been together. Love doesn't always go the way I expect it. Parents, siblings, boyfriends, husbands, kids, friends ~ the love is different for each and sometimes it's bliss while other times it's hard. I have learned to reflect on each relationship and cherish the amazing and the difficult.
I believe when you love, there is ALWAYS, always amazing.
It's Valentine's Day. A Hallmark Holiday in so many ways. I know people who delight in this day and I know people who loathe this day.
What about the people who don't have a Valentine? What about the people whose lives are in flux? What about the people who have a Facebook status of "complicated." (I don't get that to tell you the truth. Why even put it there?)
Frankly, it's Thursday. (That's for several FB friends...)
Chocolate, flowers, perfume, filet mignon, love songs, kindness, a massage, red nails; these shouldn't be saved for just one day of the year. AND, they should be gifts we are free to give ourselves. Any day of the year. We. Are. Worth. It.
The Piano Guys released a new song last night. An instrumental and a vocal version. The instrumental version made me cry; it is that gorgeous.
I didn't know the song. You would think living with a Taylor Swift fan I would, but I haven't listened to her album, Red, by itself, just in snippets in the car, when I hand over controls of the sound system...which I try to keep as a minimum. (As a total aside, I got a new car - same car, new year, lease was up - AND, the best part? It automatically syncs to MY iPhone - either my iPod or Pandora - I WIN every single time!)
Anyway, back to The Piano Guys. I vote for the instrumental. I am giving you both. You decide.
And so, my heart felt readers, I share their Valentine to us and make it my Valentine to YOU. Enjoy!
