Dear Friends … Happy Day After

With the onslaught of hearts and Cupid’s arrows, you may find yourself trying to conjure up romance, or feeling deprived of it. Romance is like kissing, though; it can be shallow without love. Love, on the other hand, has more depth than we sometimes dare to explore. Ah, but what could be more romantic than exploring the depths of love?

And we can do that with or without a partner. There is deep peace in solitude. It’s a wonderful opportunity to discover the depths of you, as well as love.

For me, that looks like sitting quietly in the middle of a field or at the edge of the water, where the only place to go is within, beyond the noise and clutter of the ego, to feel the divinity. My words fall way short of feeling it … and so do Cupid’s arrows.

Nobody else can give you what’s in there. But what’s there makes for a very happy every day!

Love and hugs,

PS: My sweetheart spent the night in his equine clinic on Valentine’s Day because of a complication with surgery (he’s a veterinarian). And here’s what I want to say about that, “I’m grateful.” Love is every day … or not at all. But there was a time in my life when a cancelled Valentine’s Day dinner would have felt dreadfully disappointing. Instead, I was sending love to Sam and the horse. And I’m smiling as I type.
