The Month of Love

Valentine’s Day: a Hallmark holiday that everyone should celebrate. A day about giving love, receiving love, and spreading love. I have grown to truly love this seemingly pointless holiday - and not just because I can get free chocolate. I like having a day to appreciate the people I hold closest to me, including the people I can no longer send a card to. One of my favorite Valentine’s Day memories is when Mike and I made dinner together. It was such a simple thing, but so enjoyable just to be around each other and spend some time quality with each other. This year, since I was unable to be with Mike, he set up an entire day spa appointment for me. So thoughtful and genuine, which really makes me miss him. However, it will just make it that much better when I do finally get to see him again. Absence makes the heart fonder!

Speaking of, I have officially found yet another coffee shop and am typing away. I haven’t been to a coffee shop here yet, and I am a little disappointed in myself for not finding one sooner. My heart is always happier with a little caffeine. Today’s weather has finally brought some life into, bringing me out of my reclusive nature. I have noticed that the weather really does impact my motivation - something that I’ve tried so hard to change. I want to be motivated and energetic every day but when the weather is gloomy and cold I tend to follow suit. I mean, who doesn’t want to cuddle up with a warm cup of tea, a fluffy blanket, and just lounge all day when the weather sucks? Anyway, hopefully the sunshine will continue throughout the next few weeks, keeping me happy and motivated. It’s time to get my life together. 
Until next time, keep in touch, keep in mind, and keep moving.
