Wasn’t Wrong

Do you ever google random things?  Probably.  I do. I looked up St Valentine today. Like the actual saint.  His skull is on display in Rome. Creepy. 

He was a pretty decent sounding guy.  He never worked for Hallmark.  Or a chocolate company.  Or a florist.

I’ve seen some posts and talked to some people today. . . you know, Valentine’s Day talk.  I like to have fun with Valentine’s Day.  Why not? 

Maybe you’re against it.  That’s ok too.  But, my thought is, whether Valentine’s Day or any other day, celebrate life, show love to others, and love selflessly (with healthy boundaries).

Maybe because I’ve lost much in the past six months.  Or maybe because life needs more love.  The reality is that love is the one thing you can always give, are never wrong for giving, and will never truly regret giving.  There are those who will argue. 

But I will say I have given my unrestrained love to have my heart shredded.  Decades later, it still has a scar.  But, the love was not wrong.  My healthy boundaries were not there.  And the other person was not mature and healthy enough, among other things.  When I see what happened in good perspective, I don’t regret the love I gave.  Of all the things that were wrong, it wasn’t love. ❤

Tonight I am thankful for Valentine’s Day.  I hope there is always a Day or reason in which people seek to spread love. ❤
