Happy Valentine’s Day – The playlist

Valentine’s Day doesn’t need to be just for couples in love. I think of it as an opportunity to tell people I love that I DO love them and appreciate them for being in my life and loving me. This includes neighbours, people in my community, people I work with, my friends and family. It’s such a small world and we need to take care of each other. One of my favourite things I learnt from a YouTube video was how small things can make someone day. In this particular video, a girl bought 12 roses and handed them out to strangers on her way home to people of all ages and backgrounds. I did it and my favourite comment was “I feel like I’ve just been knighted”. Everyone loved it and felt special – so did I.
Simple, thoughtful, with love. Happy Valentines Day.

It was then that I jotted down a letter to her, a letter that I have never sent.

I am sometimes really frustrated that the education system today does not prepare us for what it TRULY takes to make a romantic relationship work in the long-term. I wish that I had known some of these principles before I got married. Unfortunately I had to make all the mistakes before I learnt all of these lessons for the future. I had to develop some compassion for myself because I really didn’t have the insights I have today back when I actually needed them.
