My Sweet Valentine

I must confess that this is the first Valentine's Day in a long time that I actually took the time to think about real love, friendship and happiness. I'm not sure what kind of life I've been living before, but what I'm experiencing now is something more profound and perhaps more meaningful. It's something that excites me and makes me see everything through different eyes. I'm not sure how to explain it other than the fact that I feel deeper, I find more joy in the little things and I feel more connected to my spiritual being.
I can honestly say I didn't feel lonely today. The day started by going to breakfast with my good friend Sandra and her little boy. I then came home to organize the girls' room and catch up on other house chores. Before I knew it, it was time to pick up the girls from school. I had my two babies as my dates and we went to Barnes and Noble and to POC's for dinner. We came home, played, watched TV and ended the night with our family meeting and a prayer. What can I say other than life is actually good. I never thought you could grow any closer to your children, but single parenting has taught me that it is possible. I cherish every moment spent with them. My girls are my everything and my reason to keep pursuing my path. I'm not lost anymore. My path is still unclear and it frightens me at times, but I know I'm heading in the right direction.
Goodnight and Happy Valentine's Day once again!
