There have been years when I really hated February 14th. I’d see roses delivered to the desks of my co-workers and wish that I had a sweetie to celebrate the day with (despite the fact that I also thought the whole thing was a rather commercial and artificial).I’ve had my share of roses in my time. But somewhere along the way (and several flawed relationships later) I’ve come to realize that my life as a single person is good the way it is. I feel very loved this Valentine’s Day, maybe even more so than when I’ve had a partner to send me roses. My family makes me feel nurtured and connected. My friends demonstrate their love on a constant basis. The true love of my life is my son Adam.
Maybe it’s not the hormone-fueled romantic love of my youth, but I feel more love in my life now than I ever had before. I’m blessed to be so loved and to have so many wonderful people to love in return.
Happy Valentines Day to all of you!
Love Chris
