Glad you found me so I could stop by and read this great post!<BR/><BR/>My marriage ended 7 years ago over President's weekend. 2002 was our last V-day together, which is kinda ironic cuz we celebrated wonderfully and then days later he began an affair with my "best friend". Long story, but being that President's weekend comes right after Valentine's it's an anniversary of sorts for me too.<BR/><BR/>I'm much happier loving myself and being true to myself than loving a man who didn't deserve it.<BR/><BR/>Happy V-Day.MindyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103345017455083144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-63008641331372274632009-02-14T13:11:00.000-08:002009-02-14T13:11:00.000-08:00The mall was so crowded today that I thought it wa...The mall was so crowded today that I thought it was Christmas. Once again we seem to have missed the point of a celebration. Valentine's Day, like you say, is about self-love and all the kinds of love that emanate from that core. It is not what's in a pink bag, it is what's in the smile that comes from the pleasure of being one's self with the people in one's life.<BR/><BR/>Love to you and the girls. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and You Go Girl!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-60173555097173507542009-02-14T11:27:00.000-08:002009-02-14T11:27:00.000-08:00What a great post, April.

I hate Valentine's Day, because there's so much emphasis on the "couple" thing - I'd be much happier with this version or if it were a day to reflect on all the love we do have in our lives.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-81607839865668850922009-02-14T06:52:00.000-08:002009-02-14T06:52:00.000-08:00Mwah!

After many years of a broken relationship, I decided to actively pursue another avenue. It's difficult to explain to people why I would leave this man when we have 3 kids. Sometimes I wonder about it myself. But I think it has to do with self-love. Now, I'm working on self-forgiveness.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253518897502046799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-750354779381336352009-02-13T13:28:00.000-08:002009-02-13T13:28:00.000-08:00Love this post.

And it's true, although I've learned it the hard way - you really do have to love yourself, or at least BELIEVE in and value yourself, before you can really love and give of yourself.<BR/><BR/>Great post, April.
