Dear Steemians,

I just wanted to wish you nice, calm and loving Valentine's Day.

For some time, I have been neglecting this day, because I was like, I love my partner, family, friends every day and I am sure they know it, so why should I put so much effort into Valentine's Day? I changed my mind. Here is my why...

Just as Christmas is not every day, just as Thanksgiving is not every Thursday, so is not the Valentine's Day! And I do not know about you, but I still didn't forget the Christmas craziness and preparations, which has started already somewhere in October :) So I was asking myself, why the h.. I am not paying more attention to this day and at the same time, I am complaining how people are not nice to each other and that all nice gestures disappeared, that we do not show feelings to each other...and so on. Well I guess it's my problem too. maybe I am the one who is not payin attention to those detailes...So here are my thoughts on one and only Valentine's Day 2018

1

It remember us, to celebrate love! And I know, that people around us probably know that we love them and that we care about them, but sadly we do not express that love - in amount we should. Even Einstein said that love is the biggest source of energy (well, at least, I think it was him :) ) Or maybe you do. But I know, I am not working on it enough.

I think that showing love and respect for people we care about and love is very important. Especially in these days, a warm word, hug or just "I understand you" could mean a lot to somebody.

I also think that Valentine's day is not just about couple love, but it's about LOVE - overall. Love that we feel for ourself, for our partner, for our family, friends, cat, dog, horse, our hobbies, passions, for the nature, for OUR LIFE.

For me, this Valentine's Day is in colors of love to my life, where I stand in this moment. It's a day, when I am thankful for all people in my life, for all experiences, victories, and failures.

I want to hear your opinion, maybe it's just me and all of you already see a bigger picture, but I just wanted to say this.
Let's celebrate our existence, let's celebrate our given opportunity and let's share and give our energy and love to people around us.

Happy Valentine's day everybody :)
