Happy Day love birds!!!
Are you one of those individuals that celebrates V-Day?
I hope no matter your status, you enjoyed all that the day brought to you.
The significance of the day all depends on you and the importance of what you place on it. How important is the day and the meaning behind it mean to you. As much credit and weight as you give it!
Honestly, I think its great from an observers perspective, but not really my cup of tea any more.
Now, that doesn't mean there wasn't a time in my life when I didn't celebrate and go all out on this date and what it represented. Yet, I was young and thought all the lovey dovie was good for and something that all couples did. Haha, that was not the case. Over time, I was taught a new behavior and it fits me better, especially my wallet.
I enjoy seeing all the fun that other couples have and the great things that they do for one another, everyone trying to impress others and one up the other couples. Some couples are extremely romantic, others are basic and then you see the ones that go out of their way to make an impression on their loves.
Being married for as long as I have, v-Day is no longer a major celebration for us. We enjoy the day as we do every day and every once in a while, an unexpected treat appears. It could be flowers, a romantic text, a phone call to tell me he's thinking about me. I enjoy that because it continues to show and share our nontraditional love story. By no means, is my hubby romantic. So all of these display of affection are truly a testament to what we have and keeping it going.
So, imagine my surprise when he produced a basket of treats. Very unexpected and very much appreciated.
Love is what you make it, including all the good, trials, tests headaches and disagreements. No one ever said it was easy, without obstacles and smooth. Life isn't like that so why would a relationship be. It involves 2 individuals with their own minds, thoughts, ideas and interpretations of how "it" should be.
What is important is how you work to make it work for the two of you.
Couples that have long lasting marriages/relationships agree that communication is a key element. No matter what type of communication, the fact that it is positive and happens is what is important.
Never let someone tell you that you are not worthy of love, being loved and feeling love.
All of that begins with you - Love yourself!
Believe in what you have to offer to yourself and then to the world - You are enough!
Celebrate those special moments each one in a special way.
There is no rule that say you can only show and share your love and appreciation on one day. Receiving those random surprises have more value because they are just that random.
Your love is there in your actions, words, responses and your heart.
Your partner loves you, accepts you for who you are as a person.
That, is real love.
The acceptance of all that your partner brings to the table unconditionally, is what we celebrate.
Never let someone tell you that you are not worthy of love, being loved and feeling love.
All of that begins with you - Love yourself!
Believe in what you have to offer to yourself and then to the world - You are enough!
Celebrate those special moments each one in a special way.
