Watching the wind blow across the water of my backyard pool and the grey clouds swirl in the sky, I am given to powerful feelings of romance. It is Valentine’s day and, after all, this is what we are meant to feel at a time like this. There is a lot to be said against Valentine’s day, but history is written by the winners, so we shall revel in the moment of what it means to us. Beyond the commercial I find it a touchstone for showing love to my partner. It is a reminder that I do need to be mindful of making my partner feel loved everyday and not just a handful of touchstone days a year, so moments like this feel like a way to check in and see how I’ve been behaving as a partner and I think about them as a way to do just that–reflect the love.
Love is a gift. I’ve been graced with loving and having been/being loved and I believe it is important to honor that.
