At the risk
of “cheating”, I’m going to re-post my Valentine’s Day blog from last year – as
it is still relevant and expresses my sentiments this year as well. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day! “I hope
everyone has a lovely Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, I know many people say
“It’s too commercial;” “I don’t want to be told when to buy flowers;”
“Valentine’s Day Sucks!” (A recent quote from a dear friend in Iowa), or, “It’s too
much pressure to be romantic on demand!” Blah, blah, blah. Well, come on now –
if you don’t want to participate in the spirit of Love, which includes giving,
receiving, being a part of . . . . on one specific day of the year - then
don’t. But please, don’t ruin it for the rest of us. Thank you. Now we all
know there are many kinds of “love” and one of the nicest, with the potential
to last a lifetime, is the love between good friends. I had the privilege of
hosting a party Sunday for several good S.S.O.F.F* friends! It was our
first official get together since the release of my book “How to Survive in the
21 Century as a S.S.O.F.F.*. And, of course, my friends are the ladies
who contributed their personal experiences and observations to the “S.S.O.F.F*
Vignettes.” It was such
fun to see the camaraderie between them, even though many hadn’t seen each
other in years! Granted, they all have being “suddenly single and over forty”
in common, however, each differs in background, careers, and lifestyles, to
create a unique, diverse, fascinating group of friends. I am so grateful and
honored to be a part of this circle, and truly hope we all keep the connection
“alive and well” for a long time to come. So. . .
. to the Valentine Scrooges out there: “You need to take a minute to
really think about those you love and how often you acknowledge this without
the help of a specific day to remind you. And if it’s not often, or maybe
never, then for goodness sake, let Valentine’s Day give you the nudge you need
to ensure your love lasts a lifetime!” |
