Love Month

(Source.)

February is a month people love to hate. It is getting towards the end of weary winter and it's easy to resent persistent dreariness. I've always liked February (January is my personal nemesis), mostly I think because it is my birth month--tell me you don't have a special place in your heart for your birth month. :)

The other reason I am always happy when February rolls around is because it is Love Month. I have an inordinate fondess for Valentine's Day which does not come from a history of my own valentines, but because I love celebrating love and affection in all its forms.

Just as I am not restricting the love to romantic love, I'm not restricting the celebration to one day either. I am setting an intention for February this year: I am going to celebrate love in some form or another on this blog every day this month. Yep, that's a commitment.

I'll also be posting a poem on the theme every day on my poetry blog. This is a private blog for copyright reasons, but if you want to join this celebration too, email me or leave a comment with your email address and I'll send you an invitation.

Happy Love Month everyone; let the good feelings flow!
