For many single people, today is a great and often depressing reminder of what they lack in their lives...a significant other.
Although I can get into a depressive slump pretty easily, Valentine's Day has never sent me into such a slump. When I was younger, my sister and I always looked forward to a card and some chocolates and those nasty little hearts that are more fun to read than to eat. What are those candies made out of anyhow? Flavored chalk? Anyway. My mom and dad always made sure we had something special waiting for us.
Nowadays, however, I'm pretty much left to my own devices for the day of loooove. Me and my bestie J, usually try to go out to lunch or dinner but this year our schedules are just too busy. So today will be like any other Tuesday for me, trying to finish up some homework before running into work.
To those of you who may be a little sad, I encourage you to remember all the things that you do have in your life that make it fulfilling. Wouldn't you rather be happy and content alone, than in a relationship or married and miserable? I know I would.
So let today be a reminder of the blessings you have in your life and of the love that Jesus Christ has for you. What could be better than a divine romance?!
