It's February! And that means there is no better time to celebrate those four magical letters that makeup one powerful word: LOVE. With February bringing Love into the air, and if you have a person's hand to hold, you may be looking forward to this time of year. However, for some, it becomes a day or even a month dreaded if not romantically engaged.
Therefore, I want to provide a possible new perspective on Valentine's Day so that it is enjoyable and able to be celebrated for all in a way that is unique to you. Love comes in many different forms, and when it comes to Love, any relationship rooted in Love should be celebrated! And while having a romantic partner is definitely something that should be celebrated, Love does not and should not only be celebrated if it's linked to romance. Celebrating Love for your partner or spouse is essential. Still, it is equally important to remember the importance of celebrating the Love of family, a close friend, a pet, or even the Love of yourself!
Love is an incredible thing, and deserves to be celebrated! So with that, I leave you with this:
Roses are red,
and some say violets are blue,
But I say,
"It's time to celebrate love, so read below for things to do!"
