I’m not quite the type to get excited over a holiday that feels exploited by retailers in an effort to sell chocolate, cards, flowers and god knows what else. But underneath all that consumerism there is something to celebrate. Love! Without it, we are empty. Love for a spouse, a sibling, a parent, a friend, a partner, a child, or even a dog, it’s what keeps us going. It’s what makes us who we are, at least that’s true for me. Love is innate and intangible but we know it when we feel it. So today for those of you who are having your first Valentine’s as a married or engaged couple, enjoy this one, it comes but once. And for everyone else— at the very least, tell someone you love them today. Because today isn’t really about fancy dinners at overcrowded restaurants it’s about love, so spread some!
with love,
Katie
