Today is Valentine's Day. I thought that it would bother me this year, but actually I feel pretty good about it. In the past on a Valentine's Day when I was single I was depressed and hurt. This time around I feel pretty satisfied. I am hopeful and even though I am unattached, I still feel loved.
I work with preschool children who were all excited to give out cards and goodies for the holiday. I walked into the class today and was greeted by fifteen smiling, happy and excited children. I remember those days as a kid when the little things were exciting. Putting Valentine's into little homemade mailboxes was a thrill for these three year olds. It put a smile on my face to see their joy. Pure joy over little construction paper heart cards. It warmed my heart. It made me realize what was important.
You see, I don't have one valentine, I have fifteen three year old valentines, who love me unconditionally. And that's all I need. :)
