Today is Valentines Day,
I know social consciousness teaches us that today is a day to celebrate romantic love.
But I am choosing not to fall into that trap.
Let this be a day when I remember to love a little bit better.
Let me be kind to my neighbor, take time to listen to a friend who is struggling, be gentle with someone I find annoying.
I am living through a strange time in history, both my personal history and as I look around me at my world.
On this day of hearts and flowers and chocolate let me remember that love is not superficial or material or expensive.
Let me remember love is action, small everyday actions of caring and kindness and being present.
And today is a good day to begin loving one moment at a time. 
May love surround you with beauty and peace and warmth today and always,
Dear Hearts
Cheryl
