Valentine’s Day today. A day of love. A day when most
everyone is in a good mood because love is in the air. Everyone has an excuse
to smile at each other. Flowers are delivered. Balloons arrive. Chocolate
abounds.
There is a certain expectancy in the air as well as people
expect to get flowers, or chocolates. Some are disappointed when they don’t. Others
wish they had someone to share their love with.
The light tends to overrule the darkness on this day because
the air is full of love and light. If only we could capture the sentiment
expressed today. Bottle it. Then give a
little out every day so people would not forget how good love feels.
Valentine’s Day was created as a day to remember love. To
give love. To express love. To be love. Over the years it has been transformed
into a commercial money making day for florists, card and chocolate manufacturers,
and jewellers causing many to forget what the day is supposed to be about.
It is not meant to be a day of material giving. It is
supposed to be a day of pure and unconditional love instead where we smile at
everyone we meet. Give off feelings of love and contentment. Spread positive energy
. Without expectation. Without wanting anything in return. Just giving love. Lifting
our mind, body and souls.
Valentine’s Day is meant to remind us of how much we are creatures
of love. Creatures who want to be loved and give love.
More importantly, in order to give love we must feel love
for ourselves first. No amount of flowers, jewellery, cards or chocolate can
fill us up if we don’t know love ourselves. Before walking out of the door this
morning, look in the mirror and say, “I love you” to your image in the mirror.
Stand and look at your reflection for a while savouring the warmth that spreads
through your body as a result. Watch the smile form on your face. Then say it
one more time, “I love you”. Your whole
being will feel pure joy, bliss and love like no other. Think of Whitney
singing, “The greatest love of all is happening to me. Learning to love
yourself is the greatest love of all...”
Now you are ready to spread love today because you know and
feel that you are love and only love. That's true love. May your hearts and souls be filled with
love, peace and joy. Today and every day.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
