Happy Valentine's Day!
For many, this day means a lot, for many, this day means less than very little.
Traditionally and commercially, society perpetuates that it's all about romantic love.
If you are in a romantic relationship, I hope, for your sake, you make romantic gestures much more often than once a year. Romantic gestures evolve over time.
As you get to know each other, the small, selfless gestures come to mean at least as much if not more than the grand ones.
The just becauses.
Preparing a favourite meal, scraping the ice from your car windows, making sure you always have clean clothes, holding out a hand on uneven ground, baking a favourite cookie, picking up a favourite old school treat found by happenstance when filling the car with gas.
The just becauses.
If romance is not your deal, if this day is like any other, have a great one!
*******************************************************
This weekend also celebrates another holiday! Where I call home, this weekend is a long weekend, Monday being family day!
Whether your family is bound by DNA, shaped by shenanigans, foreordained by fate, or birthed from the ashes of trauma, family is family.
Celebrate yours. Whatever its shape and size.
Time with those we love is never guaranteed. Enjoy!
********************************************************
May you get all the romance, if that's what floats your boat.
May you have all of the meh, if the romance gets your goat.
May you celebrate, if not romance, just love in all its forms.
May you celebrate those who are yours, those who stand with you through storms.
