Today is Valentines Day, as you have probably noticed. The infamous ''hallmark holiday". The day where guys are supposed to spoil their girlfriends with flowers, chocolates, gifts, and dinner. I will admit I am a lil sad I don't have a boyfriend this year for the past three years I have been one of those spoiled girls who always had amazing valentines. But just because I am single doesn't mean I can't be happy on this day. I have lots of valentines who have always been there for me. Plus like I've said before and will say many times in the future, girls since when did we start letting boys determine our happiness.
I can create my own happiness. I am the happiest I have been in almost three years. It's funny, I wanted to be with someone so bad and when I finally got him I wasn't completely happy or completely satisfied and now that I don't have ''anyone" I am the happiest I have been since high school. I am not saying staying single the rest of my life is going to make me happy, but I have to learn to find happiness on my own before anyone else can make me truely happy. So yes it is single awareness day but I am not going to be a negative nancy about it. I am happy for everyone who has a significant other and is being spoiled on this day. You are very blessed and I hope to be blessed with an amazing husband someday who cherishes me not only on Valentines day but everyday of the year.
I am choosing to be thankful on this Valentines Day. Thankful for my loving family who have been through thick and thin with me through the past three years and are finally seeing a light at the tunnel. I am thankful for amazing friends who are always there for me whether its in the good times or bad times. Thankful for an adorable puppy who wants nothing to be faithful to me, he hasn't left my side today. He's actually sleeping on my lap as I am typing this. Now that's love and loyalty. I am thankful for a beautiful savior, my first love. Who fills my heart with so much joy and wants nothing but the best for me. He pursues me all the time. He is my first love and nobody will replace him. Never. Not even my future hubby someday. I am so thankful that my grandma is getting released from the hospital today to go back to the nursing home so she can get her strength back and go to an assisted living home. Just shows how strong God's love is for us and that he does answer prayers and is faithful. God wants us to imitate him. I believe by showing love for people, not only on valentines day, but 365 days a year ,is imitating him. So there is so much to be thankful for. I am trying to fall in love with as many things as possible because this life is so short and I don't want to miss out on anything.
Be happy. Let Jesus fill your heart with joy.
