Love is when your pet snuggles up against you on a cold winter's night. Love is baking cookies inside while your mate shovels outside. Love is when your teenager laughs aloud with you instead of pretending that you don't exist. Love is talking to your mother and her actually agreeing with you instead of her telling you the way she would have done it. Love is picking up where you left off with a good friend even though you haven't seen each other in months. Love is buying loads of snacks and dropping them off at a homeless shelter on Superbowl Sunday in memory of your Dad, who was an avid football fan. Love is feeling good about you, having hopes for your future, and letting go of dark shadows from your past.
Seeing love in so many forms makes Valentine's Day less threatening for some. Anyone can be our Valentine, not just a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife. February is cold in New England. Why not share the warmth with someone? Heck, we even leave our mailman a Valentine!
Still not in the mood yet? There are a few tickets left for our humorous talk on "Love" combined with a wine-tasting at Alfalfa Farm in Topsfield on Friday, February 18th. My husband, Larry, and I will share some situations couples can relate with all too well! Living together, in-laws, kids, holidays, sex - come laugh with us and warm up with a nice Pinot Grigio! When all else fails, there's nothing like a nice glass of wine and good company to set the world right again.
Wishing you a February full of love, warmth, and laughter - or at the very least, a great glass of vino!
