I have never been much of a human who celebrates special days. A birthday, holiday, or other event has always been another day. That is how I was raised, and unfortunately, a trait I carried onward to my son. I learned so many things after the fact, and I wish I had taught my son to appreciate and cherish special days with more heart. Just another regret!
This is the first year I have had no choice but to ignore this special day. Yesterday, I fell ill, which was the worst flu / cold I have ever experienced. I had extreme trouble breathing, couldn't stand without difficulty, and if I ate, it flowed through my body at rapid speed. It could be a better way to get out of the required/desired Valentine's Day activities, but this year, I unintentionally avoided the mad rush to celebrate a special day.
Every day should be Valentine's Day. My life would have been so different had I had the patience and heart to live each day as a special day and carry that effort forward to all I meet. Oh well, just one more regret?
I need to rush to the restroom! Carry on, my friends!
