For most people, Valentine’s Day is about candy and flowers, cards and fancy dinners.
I‘m not doing a typical Valentine celebration of giving the people I know a silly card and box of chocolate. I was raised by a mother who didn’t just teach me to speak, she taught me you’re greatest gifts are the words found in the heart and shared with flowing great love.
Who among us doesn’t like to hear dearly beautiful feelings roaming the mind, put into language and given out and shared for the sake of filling another person with the gift of love?
I would not be alive and doing a great job in the face of autism if my mom and dad and if my dear sister didn’t love without giving really much thought to what they got in return.
When you give love freely, it heals. For some people going out on a limb and risking exposure of their feelings is very difficult. Fear of their love being rejected or misunderstood leaves them doing nothing and so many nice feelings are denied the chance to be felt. They are very stingy with words of kind radiant feelings.
This year I’m giving my heartfelt words for Valentines. I’m sharing the depths of my heart and before I finish the special day, I think I will have given the best presents of all.
