The first thing you think of with Valentine’s Day is that one special sweetheart in your life who makes the journey worthwhile – and that’s a good thing. We should have a day that let’s us celebrate the apple-of-our-eye, the soul-mate, the sweetheart we chose to be with and who we can’t imagine life without. Love is a good thing to celebrate and we can’t ever have too much appreciation for it.
But Valentine’s Day casts its net of fondness wider than just one person. It’s a holiday that celebrates all the people in our lives who are special and who have a warm place in our heart. It could be mom and dad, brother or sister, grandma and grandpa or family far or near. Those are surely people in our lives who would welcome a nod on Valentine’s Day as acknowledgment of the close bonds that you share. Yes, Valentine’s celebrates our sweetheart but it also embraces our family.
But that’s not where it ends. The spirit of Valentine’s is even more broad than our inner circle. Valentines celebrates not just family but those we consider family as well. People who we share unique bonds with that have warmed with time. It’s that best friend we grew up with, the teacher who inspired us, the coach who steered us in the right direction, the neighbor who comes to our rescue or the colleague we have grown to admire and trust. February 14th is the day we stop and remind those people in our life who we are thankful for that we value our special relationship. Love is not just about affection for our sweetheart but about recognition that life is made more enjoyable and more satisfying when it is shared with people who care about us and who we care for. You don’t have to look far to find those special people and this holiday is a nice time to surprise them with a little something.
