Valentine's Day

So this weekend holds the day of love, Valentine's Day. This day can be looked at one of two ways- total excitment to see what one's significant other did to honor them. Or looking at with total bitterness at your lack of a special someone that you could share it with.

Last Valentine's Day started off as my hardest you see, because I just went through a pretty painful break up and I worked at Hallmark. I remember sorting through the VDay cards and My Heart Will Go On came on over the radio. My fragile heart became bitter at that point wondering why in the world I didn't have someone to share the day with. However, that's when I thought of the idea of getting with a bunch of single girls in the church and spending the day with them. I told my best friend about it and we gathered up a few girls. We made cards for a bunch of the widows in the church. Then for the actual day, we dressed up and went out to see Defintely Maybe. It ended up as a wonderful night.

This year is not going to be so hard. This year I fully appreicate my singleness. If I went along with peer pressure, I might be inclined to feel as if I deserved someone. As I look around this year, I take notice that most of my good friends have someone special. Some of these friends are ones that this will be their first Valentine's Day with someone and for that I am excited for them. I myself am glad I do not have anyone right now. I have so much to work on with my walk with God, I am apart of a ministry, I have a load of classes, and other important relationships that are far more important right now.

Provided I do get married and that it lasts for years, I will spend many Valentine's Days with my future husband. But right now, I am single something everyone should cherish and take of advantage of. I can do so much right now without wondering what my boyfriend will think or how it will affect him. I am going to spend the day thinking of all the people I love and appreciate.

So Happy Valentine's Day to everyone who has shared a part of my life. I love you all so much! <3
