To Those Alone on Valentine's Day

Today is a cheerful day for loved ones in so many ways. Gifts and kisses upon waking. I love yous and cards with glorious saying. How beautiful this day can be. My memories have a couple. But to the man or the women who do not receive that card or kiss, i know how it feels for them. I have realized a day is just a day. Love is there when it chooses to be not when the calender tells us it is. To the people who do not have the positive aspects in their life on this day it is a curse. They wake alone with no one they see flowers being delivered. Their co-workers carrying balloons and opening cards. What a whole in the chest that feels. Even to loved ones who have a spouse whom does not bless them with the showering of love. This day can bring more heart ache than love in so many ways. I use to be a strong believer in these holidays. My mother always got me a stuffed animal and candy. Never did i rise in the morning not have a memoir or gift of some sort from her to show her love. Times change we get older, no longer do i have my mother to leave things on the kitchen table for me in the morning. No longer do i have her kisses to make me feel loved on such a day. A day of love has become a day of expectation which in the end many get let down. Blessed are those who wake in the arms of a loved one. Blessed are those who have been kissed and hugged. Take not for granted those who have such warmth and celebration in their lives. And pray that those with out will one day feel the same. Maybe today is not all of our days to celebrate, but may sometime in our lives on whatever date we feel what others feel today. In my thoughts are those who are lonely. This blog is for the lonely. To all that are alone keep hope in your hearts that a day besides today you will celebrate love in some way at some time. Just as God does not give us blessing right when we ask, eventually they do come when not expected.
