Happy V day all! For the first time ever, I feel like I have turned a new leaf, and it only took me 40 years to get there.

Thanks to CoDa (Codepenedents Anonymous), I have learned SO much about myself and embraced that true happiness lies within.

To that end, I have committed to loving MYSELF which involves treating myself how I want to be treated instead of waiting around for someone else to figure it out or focusing on what I don’t have. It has been incredibly rewarding.

So, in the spirit of the day that we celebrate love, I have decided to have a “day in” so I don’t have to deal with the “V” day crowds. I bought steaks and shrimp on sale, and I am going to cook myself an AMAZING dinner complete with candlelight and wine. I have 1/2 dozen chocolate covered strawberries in the fridge that I intend on enjoying. I’m then going to put on some soft music, light a few more candles and enjoy a long bubble bath. I am then going to write in my journal about all of the things for which I am grateful and all of the wonderful things that make being “unattached” at this point in my life so wonderful.

Anyone else CELEBRATING SELF LOVE today?
