Been busy, family obligations and trumpets. Celebrated Valentine's Day with hubby finally: a year he is physically here by my side with me to celebrate this time of love and he is all mine not property of the US Military! HOAH!!! Our lil one was also a part of our celebration as well, after all our lil one is a part of this celebration too ! Kids included - not just a couples day. I must say we celebrated in style and comfort ; enjoyed our the food, the wonderful ambiance and lastly our time together ! We enjoyed ourselves so much Military Mommy/Wife was an exhausted queen I got home and crashed on the couch! Hubby took charge and assumed the Mommy role ! I loved it and must say he did... A WONDERFUL job ! Great job Hun! In addition to the V-Day celebration we celebrated our many years of marriage we are under ten but more than five and the roads have not always been straight nor perfect but the roads traveled to get here has been worth the time, effort and energy, I can only thank God for our blessings and I have to thank all who prayed and ensured we had God in our hearts. Marriage cannot survive without the grace and presence of GOD!
I have taken the time out to ponder what the true meaning of Valentine's Day is? Is it a celebration of love ? Or celebration of Couples/ Celebration of life in general ? What is it? What does it truly represent? From my own observation, I have noticed that this is a very commercialized day and I can also say in my opinion a selfish one too, it reminds me of a competition ..who can get their loved one/soon to be loved one the biggest token of appreciation then manage to flaunt it in front of others . Another observation is that most people focus on others I think we need to focus on loving ourselves first. After all, you cannot fully love another unless you love yourself, psst . you have to first embrace your issues, flaws and perceived misfortunes. To sum it all, I term Valentine's day; the celebration of loving ones self. Enjoy your day! and keep loving YOURSELF!
