Love Thy Self

Once again valentines day is rolling around and love is in the air. For some, being in love is not as important as loving thy self. What we want in a mate is so very important and for people like me, it is unattainable. I have dance that dance too many times and I have accepted the fact that I will never find the man of my dreams. No accepting to settle, not wasting love on a man that can not return my feelings, it's something I am comfortable with. At times I yearn to be loved, ache to be held and have even been brought to tears because of the emptiness inside. When those emotions rare their ugly head, I suck it up, take a deep breath, swallow hard and go on.

Valentines day is almost here and this year is going to be much different. This year I have decided to celebrate me. I will set aside some time to pamper myself, enjoy my favorite snack, read a book and listen to music. I love myself enough not to get caught up with the meaning of the day but to look deep inside myself and love the person I am.

I know I am not a lone. There are men and woman out there that have not found the person that is right for them and have decided to save themselves the troubles. If you are one and you don't have any plans for valentines day, make a date with yourself and spend some time enjoying your favorite food, shopping or what ever makes you happy. After all, you can never go wrong taking care of yourself.

Take care and happy valentines day.
