I know, I know, Valentine's Day? Divorced and not feeling the love? Sadly, we seem to think we need this one day to celebrate love. Television ads and store displays certainly shout that message; however, love is something we should be celebrating everyday and not because we have a partner in our lives, but because we have many "love" relationships in our lives. And while it is nice to take a day to emphasize the love, I encourage you to make this a day to emphasize the love you have for all the people in your life. Think how blessed you are by just being alive and being able to hug someone today! There are so many cliches about love, but think about why: love really is all we need; love is the answer; what the world needs now is love sweet love; and you know many more I'm sure! Love is powerful, and when we have love for all our fellow beings love brings a peace to our lives because we are love filled. And consider this, when you are full of love for others, and truly at peace, that is when you are most likely to meet someone else to share that love because if hate or anger are dwelling within you, they will lash out at some point against a new love.
I encourage you to celebrate today the love you have for others! Call a friend, hug a neighbor, play games with the kids or bake cookies together, and love yourself too! Life is too short not to fill it with love!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Divorce is by far one of the most stressful life events anyone can face. Dealing with the anger, letdown, and the emotional ups and downs can be difficult. Likewise, remarriage often results in stressful situations as well. This blog is for those looking to move forward, forgive, and embrace a new life.
