It only seems natural to write about love in the month of February. With Valentine's Day, all the candy hearts, chocolate hearts, flowers, and cards all over the place, it's hard to not think about love. Although I think Valentine's Day is a bit overrated, I have to admit that it's nice to receive a card and/or chocolate shaped heart from someone you love.
Most of our blogs this month may indeed be about when we've fallen in and out of love, but we're also going to blog about love in friendships and love in our families.
One of my favorite movies is Love Actually. Not only does it have an amazing soundtrack, but it's message really holds true - despite the hatred and greed we constantly are reminded of, love actually is all around us. A quote from the movie, "Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around." - Mandy
