Love

It's February, the month of St. Valentines day. The month of love. Black History month. Presidents' Day. The month we remember that Bill Murray relived the same day over and over until he learned to be a good person. The month that's so good we have to limit the number of days so that we only get 29 every four years.

What are your feelings about February? About St. Valentines Day? About love?

Some suggest that love is one of the most important needs in life. Not what we have come to call romantic love, but the connection and connections we build with our family, close friends, and yes, our sweethearts. 

Connection is pretty amazing. Connecting positively with the people around you can help develop good mental health, gain strength to resist addiction or other forms of harmful behavior. In fact, I would go so far as to say that connection is essential to a full life.

Yes, even for introverts like me. 

Looking into the history of February and weird spelling, you may find other insights for yourself. And like most things in our world, it's a month that's got some history.

Whatever reason you love, hate, or meh this month, I recommend finding someone to connect with. Maybe you can share some obscure calendrical knowledge. 

-I love you.-

-Give yourself permission to be okay with your day,

and let tomorrow be tomorrow.-

-Good luck.-
