Love Letter

When it comes to Valentines’s Day, I adore everything about it, including the thought of writing love letters to special people in my life. But how often do we think about writing a love letter to ourselves? If you’re anything like me, probably next to never. This year I decided it was time.

Dear Precious Self:

You are an amazing woman, that should take the time to remind yourself daily. You’ve raised two beautiful children, both inside and out, that are kindhearted, generous and thoughtful. Both are independent, and strong enough to stand on their own. You’ve provided a home filled with love and laughter.

You are a loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. You’re witty, playful, dependable, and much stronger than you know. You have an adventurous spirit, love to laugh, and have a tender heart. Your laugh is contagious and you’re not afraid to poke fun at your wacky antics.

You try hard at most things you do, and your word means everything. Even though things may not always work out as planned, you keep your commitments. You make every effort to be giving, generous, kind and polite. You are not without faults, but that makes you imperfectly, perfect.

You are my best friend, and the one that can inspire me to be better than I was yesterday. I promise to try and remember all the wonderful things I love about you.

Love always….me

Writing a love letter to yourself may seem odd, even self-serving, but we owe it to ourselves to realize just how incredible we are. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge our awesome qualities that other people already see? Even though it was challenging to write this love letter to myself, I wanted to give the gift of self-love…..happy heart day to me.
