All You Need Is Love

With January well and truly gone (thank God!) and those January blues slightly lingering into February with the horrible weather we're having at the moment, you can't help feel a little warm and fuzzy inside with Valentine's Day just around the corner... Or can you?

For many it's just another day of consumerism, for companies to make profit on cards, presents, jewellery, and flowers and for some the gift of a holiday or city break... For others it's a day to show the one you love how much they mean to you and spend some "special" time together...

As I'm with my other half for nearly 10 years now, for me personally, the novelty of buying things has definitely worn off.  Gone are the days of cuddly bears, little ornaments with glitter and words of love, red picture frames with kisses all around and balloons in the shape of hearts (I know, I do love a bit of cheesiness but enough already!). Now don't get me wrong, it's a romantic time of year and we still exchange cards with our own little personal messages to each other (which aren't displayed on the mantelpiece for everyone to see!) but both of us as a couple don't need the 14th February to know how much we mean to each other.

Every day I appreciate that he's in my life (here comes more cheesiness)... Of course nothing is perfect and everyone has their ups and downs but life isn't perfect... We're healthy (touch wood), happy (most of the time), content and there for each other... All the gifts and money in the world could never replace him... Every day is our Valentine's Day (I know you're thinking pass the bucket) but on an essential little note, I'm truly grateful he's part of my life... Your health's your wealth and as The Beatles say, all you need is love, love is all you need...
