My valentine

 This is for the loves of my life,my valentines.

The meaning of Valentine is STRENGTH in Latin.

Strength should be our pronounced characteristic,a characteristic which should stand out.Strength comes from the situations we face,the challenges we face and overcome.By getting up every time we fall.Strength comes from acceptance, from pain,from patience,from understanding.It builds us up.

Valentine is a powerful word.I therefore thank all my valentines.Thanks for making me the person I am today.

Reminds me of a game we used to play in our childhood.Each one of us would sit with a pack of cards.At the word go,we would start  building our pyramids.A slight punch somewhere,or slight nonalignment would bring the whole structure down.We would again,painstakingly start all over again to build our pyramids.This game taught us precision,patience,perseverance. This game has also stood ground in building our character.Later,it's life's lessons which teach us all the aforesaid qualities.

Probably there is no limit to the strength we have.We go on stretching the limits.After each experience we feel thus far and no further.But its said that God also knows the limits of a human being and so either He  gives them more strength or He stops testing them.

So a Valentines day has to be celebrated.Its the celebration of our strength,our love.

Love again has so many forms and facets.....Parental love,sibling love,love for friends,love for family,love for your partners of life,or partners in growing up,understanding,partners who help you in evolving,partners in crime(on a lighter note).

Anyway its a day to celebrate. Let us find a  reason to celebrate.Because,life is a celebration.
