Spread the Love

So screw me, I haven't blogged as much as I wanted to, even with a million ideas running through my head. As far as I know, after my last post, I was following a Valentine Challenge. And the challenge for the third week was Pursue kissing your husband. 

With my husband, though, some things cannot be rushed, planned, or scheduled. Everything has to come au naturelle. So last week has been a little hazy because of job interviews, but I feel like I don't have to limit myself to a deadline. I can definitely still be up to the challenge this week, especially with the Valentine love bug in the air. 

Anyway, I've been doing my own Valentine project this month, which I called "Spread the Love." I wanted to reach out to people who were and are part of my life and I never got to thank, or say sorry to, or never had the opportunity to show them how I love them. 

First on the list are friends in Facebook that I always see posting photos and status updates, but never really got the nerve to say a single word to them. I was afraid to be part of their life but really wanted to reach out to them. I wanted to break the ice but didn't know how. 

So I thought, I would just send 3 people a simple message, 3 people who meant so much to me growing up. To one childhood I said sorry, to another high school classmate I said thank you, and the last person I tried to search all over facebook (even google) but to no avail. I feel like I have to tell her, my best friend in high school, how sorry I am to have held a grudge all these years just because I simply can't accept the fact that she chose her boyfriend over our friendship. Anyway, I will still ask forgiveness for bitterness I harbored for her the last 15 years once I get the chance. For now, I ask the Lord to forgive me.

I think Valentines is not just a season for lovers to celebrate. For all you know, that person you spend ridiculous amounts of time and money may not be as forever as you think. Love is for everyone...friends, family, kids, even pets. So let them feel you love them now, you never know when this may be the last chance you get.
