    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?

    Dear Kristina:

    What a delightful way to spend Valentine Day: steak and shrimp, chocolate covered strawberries, soft music, candlelight, long bubble bath, and a grateful entry in your journal, how lovely!

    Don’t celebrate Valentine Day myself- but just lived vicariously through your celebration, thank you!

    That’s beautiful Kristina! Don’t limit such a wonderful treat to yourself to just one day a year. Why not once a month? You deserve it 🙂

    Hey Kristina,

    Well done on Self Love.

    How will I love myself on V day. By not making a big deal about it. By reminding myself that being single is as good as being in relationship and it is just a delusion that having a partner will give us happiness. Ask people who are in relationship or married?

    If you have someone to celebrate your life with, GREAT ! If you have no one like me its GREAT to. Grass is always greener on the other side of fence.
