Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.\u00a0And while I’m not one to buy into the commercialism, celebrating some mysterious dead saint or exhausting myself just for the sake of it,\u00a0I think there just might\u00a0be something to it that is worth taking notice of.<\/p>\n

In more modern times this age old holiday has become about romantic love, but for many centuries\u00a0it was more\u00a0simply about showing kindness and caring for your fellow man,\u00a0or woman.<\/p>\n

So what is Valentine’s day to me – it’s about taking a step back from the busyness that is life and taking a moment to appreciate the people around me\u00a0in a thoughtful\u00a0way.\u00a0One that’s\u00a0different from the everyday kindness I try to exude. Now I have had people say to me that they don’t need a special day to do that – they can do that any time they feel like it.\u00a0But my question is “Do they?” If you do, that is awesome. However if you’re anything like me, you might have good intentions and even good ideas, but more often than not, not\u00a0enough time or energy\u00a0to make it a reality. This is why I think having a day on your calendar that you can plan for, in advance, is actually a pretty good idea.<\/p>\n

So please let me\u00a0encourage you today – don’t ever become too tired or busy to show a little love.<\/p>\n
