I feel that a post concerning the holiday is appropriate considering the nature of the subject of my blog. But quite honestly, I don't really know what to write about as far as Valentine's Day is concerned. Today is just another day for me. I actually have a test on Thursday, so I made sure to have a cleared schedule for the afternoon just to dedicate to studying. Other that that, it's another day and I'm plugging away and smiling at strangers going to and from school. The people I encountered today seemed much happier in general today...returning smiles and some even saying "good morning." It was quite pleasant :)
In the past, Valentine's Day did kind of get me down some. The whole Singles Awareness Day (S.A.D.) thing is true. When you're single and it's something you're already painfully aware of, a day that seems to be devoted to couples kinda wears on you. But not this year. I'm not sad at all this year really. All day today I've been really happy...and I didn't even get my full eight hours of sleep last night!
I think one thing that I am enjoying about today is just knowing that there are so many couples out there who are so happy to be together and celebrate their love and they get an excuse to have an extra special day. And I'm genuinely excited for them :) And then on the other hand are all my single friends who may or may not be feeling a little down today. But the holiday gives me an excuse to encourage them and remind them that on this day of romance and desire, they should be celebrating God, who loves them and desires them more than anybody else ever could! Sometimes all it takes is just a tiny reminder to completely turn someone's day around.
Maybe I brightened someone's day and maybe I didn't. But either way, I'm going to enjoy the rest of the day and study, study, study! ;)
