Write Me a Love Letter

In only 7 days, it will be Valentine's Day - for some, a very romantic kind of day.  For others, just another event celebrated couple style, and dreaded by single folks everywhere. 

I'm hoping to change your mind on that, though.  Because out of all the people in the world, who is the most important?  You should love yourself, because without you, you're nothing! 

Sometimes we forget to appreciate ourselves, and all we do in this world.  Every morning at 4:30am, I force my body from its warm spot in the bed and get up, get dressed and out the door for work.  And 99.9% of the time, my body never fails me.  So I need to be thankful - and what better way than by writing myself a love letter? 

But what would you tell yourself? 

How about a helpful starter?

Dear Self,

Today is Valentine's Day. Since you are the most important person in my life, I wanted to write you a letter. Thank you for always being there for me, for helping me think things through, most past the disappointments, and always helping me find ways to be happy..

I respect you because you know your own mind, and work around things, in spite of your foibles.  What I love most about you is the way you can keep going with confidence and fortitude to get you through most situations.

I know sometimes I can be hard on you, forget to thank you for all you do, and even treat you poorly, but please know that I love you. I promise to do better this year, starting with my gym time, and foods that are good for you..

Each time I drag you out of bed early for a workout, make you skip that second helping, or ask you to please get off the couch and get moving, know that I do it out of love. I want us to be around for a long time, and I want those years to be memorable and full of adventure.

Each day I get to spend with you, living this life to the fullest, is a true gift. You are my one true love, and I will always respect and care for you.

Love,
Me

Try writing one of your own....
and know that you're a great Valentine to have around!
