We recently had a jam-packed weekend. You know the one where when Friday arrives, you realize you have no down time till Sunday night, which is really just time to get ready for the next work week. We spent a whole weekend celebrating life, literally. We went to a luncheon for a friend’s dad who passed away. We attended a gender reveal party. Lastly, we went to a benefit for a friend who is battling brain cancer.
What happened at all three events was exactly the same. Friends and family were hugging, kissing, toasting and sharing fun stories. There was a sense of belonging, a feeling of hope, and when the event was over, you could not have imagined being anywhere else for that time.
As we celebrate Valentine’s weekend, let’s focus on love. Love really does make the word go ‘round; it makes us gentler, kinder, and in turn, makes us happier.
