Today is a day specially set out to celebrate love. Lovers celebrate each other, friends celebrate each other, and individuals celebrate love of life, if they’re open to it.
Gratitude lies in recognizing the Love in every moment: the hummingbird enjoying nectar, the hand of a stranger reaching out to help another, the quick smile given and received, honoring the space needed by another; millions of ways, large and small which say “I love you, I honor you.”
Love, coming from a place of healing, is an inside job. I can’t give that which I don’t have within. I can receive it, though, with an open heart and mind to see it in the everyday. In those moments when I listen to the inner echos of “not enough”, I can reach out to the Author of Love and simply allow that joy, peace, and serenity to wash over me.
On this day of love, I celebrate all that I hold dear—the people in my life who love me and whom I love, the moments and memories of the past which flood my heart, and all that the future holds for me.
Love is all around me. All I have to do is open my heart and feel it, open my eyes and see it.
