St. Valentine's Day: What's all the fuss about?

February is viewed as the month of love. The climax for a lot of people is Valentine's Day. From my purview, everyday should be Valentine's day! Everyday is an opportunity for us to appreciate the gift of family, friends and loved ones in our lives; to review the relationships and friends we are in. Do we bring "Valentine" values to our friends and family? Such as:

  • Value
  • Appreciation
  • Loyalty
  • Encouragement
  • Nurturing
  • Trustworthiness
  • Inspiration
  • Note worthy
  • Expressiveness
Feel free to substitute my "Valentine" values for what is important to you.

THE WINNING ATTITUDE TO KEEPING DIFFICULT NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS



I am about to wade into troubled waters and perhaps rustle them up a bit more. There are many people who have chosen not to make new year resolutions anymore because the statistics about the percentage of people who actually achieve their resolutions is almost depressing.

Truth be told, I think deep down we all make these resolutions whether we call them that, or not. I know that most people do a lot of soul searching at the end of each year. I do. I unconsciously find that I assess how I fared in several areas of my life and try to plan how to do better in the coming year.

So tell me, nearly six weeks into 2016, how are the resolutions going?
