valentine pride
I am an unabashed Valentine’s Day fan. Not for the kitch, nor for the sweets. Just for the celebration of all things love.
And this year, Chris and I aren’t really “doing anything” for the holiday, but it doesn’t mean I’m not celebrating in my own personal way, gripping and cradling my thankfulness for him and for everyone else who loves us individually and together.
And indeed, what a year it is for love! I do not say it is my love’s pinnacle, but more the beginning of love’s greatest turn.
A humble journey I am proud to take.
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds,
Nor bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
that looks on tempests and is not shaken.
Shakespeare, Sonnet 116
