Valentine's Day Rambles

Source

I've been thinking about Valentines Day a lot lately and I have some thoughts on it. 

I LOVE love. 

There I said it.

I know what you are thinking, " girl I know I've combed your Instagram and your posts, there is NO mention of a significant other of any kind." and yes you are right ( I am currently very single) but the IDEA of love is enough to make me happy. I love the fact you have this person there for you, through thick and thin, good times and bad times. They are your teammate and person- You get to do life with them. 

The BEST (well one of them) part of LOVE is that it looks different for everyone.  

ALL types of love should be celebrated on Valentines Day- love for yourself, your family, your children, your fur children, your friends, your romantic partner, your coworkers, your Amazon delivery guy, your grub hub guy.... you get the idea, LOVE is found everywhere you look.  It can be new and exciting; it can be old habit; it can be love after heartbreak; it can be love after unimaginable circumstances; it can be love that you never dreamed of. 

I particularly LOVE how love manifests itself into things that you say that take on a new meaning when you are in (any type of ) relationship especially when you say: 

"Text me when you get home" 

"Drive Safe" 

"Be Well"

 "You Got This"

 "I Am Praying For You" 

"I Am Here When You Are Ready"

As corny as it sounds, Love is really all around us (Thanks Love Actually!) and all you need to do to look for it. 

It doesn't matter if you are single, just friends, just friends, a brand new couple, a couple celebrating 1 year married,  a couple celebrating 50 years or anywhere in between, you deserve LOVE. The good kind of love that comes with butterflies and excitement and joy. 

In honor of this day filled with love, I made a supersized WGJ *Valentines* Playlist. 

I couldn't help myself, I got so excited thinking about all the different types of love that this playlist encompasses them ALL. You can listen HERE

I will end this post by saying how much I appreciate and love all my readers! YOU (the reader) make me want to write more and more. Thanks a bunch!
