For myself and my beloved, this is our 16th Valentines year that we've spent together and I might have already blogged about the fact that it back in the year 2000, our first date was on this day at Mission Bay and I remember thinking to myself that either he was the one or I'd remember a failed Valentines date for the rest of my life. Ha ha. Needless to say that on that day he kinda proposed because he said that he could see himself spending the rest of his life with me and the rest is history.
I got to spend a special morning breakfast with my beloved by ourselves and it was refreshing to spend time together as often, with our busy schedule and growing family, there are so many responsibilities but not time to recharge and share alone together.
And at church, one of the Pastors, Ps Cy Rodgers, shared with us about the history of the day through the actions of a Christian martyr who's name was Valentine and how it's also a good time to check our heart i.e. the spiritual, mental and physical heart and for couples it's also about checking on how healthy their relationship/ heart is with each other.
My beloved and I were able to reflect some more on this after lunch with some time out for each other to have a 'healthy heart check' conversation and have even decided to do this more regularly each month. To have a 'date' and healthy conversation about the important things that we can often miss discussing in the busyness of life.
I hope you had a meaningful Valentines day and was able to spend time with people you love. Although often over commercialised, it is also a timely reminder to spend quality times with the people we love in healthy heart check conversations...
