It’s February 1, and now that we’ve turned the page on this new month it’s time to go ahead and face facts:
Love is in the air.
I used to think Valentine’s Day (and all the hullabaloo that goes with it) was just a holiday manufactured by card and gift stores to get us all back to spending money for gifts while we’re still recovering from our big Christmas spend, and hey- maybe that’s still true.
But my attitude about Valentine’s Day has changed just a tad as they years have passed. First of all, I got married on Valentine’s Day. (More on that another time. It wasn’t for the lovey-dovey reasons you may think, but now that it’s our Anniversary, I do actually love it!) Second, the whole world wears pink and red on repeat. (Can we make this a think not JUST for February?!?) Third, can you even handle all the sweets and treats there are to tempt us this month? Be still my candy-loving heart.
Valentine’s Day is a celebration of L-O-V-E, but don’t get bogged down thinking it’s only for people who have a life parter, significant other, or spouse. This month, let’s celebrate our Girlfriends (Galentines Day, anyone?) Let’s celebrate all the love we’ve learned from over the years (Throw a “Stupid Cupid” Party!) And while we’re at it- how about let’s celebrate learning to love ourselves as we are just a little bit more.
There are a LOT of things to love, and to celebrate all that love floating around, I’ve put together another Spotify playlist for you. This one’s got 2 hours of my favorite love songs. You can get to the playlist by clicking here.
I’d love to hear from you- Did I leave out your favorite love song?
