‘Till I’m Alone Again With You….

Well…it’s been awhile….  I actually came here to shut this blog down but got caught up reading some old entries and realized how much I really love writing here. I’ve missed it.

So – it’s Valentine’s Day.

And while I don’t really buy into the hype that this day brings….it’s definitely nice to feel loved and appreciated. I think it’s easy to take the things we have for granted and that we, far too easily, forget to tell the people closest to us how much they mean to us and how grateful we are for their love and support.

I’d fully intended to write an entry around Nils Lofgren’s song, Valentine. But, while I was searching for the video to post with it, I came across this song by Springsteen – Valentine’s Day. It’s such a sweet little song – I’d never heard it before. It’s all about missing someone so much that you just can’t wait to see them; that nothing else matters until you’re back in their arms again. Remember that feeling? It’s the one that’s there at the start of something new; the feeling that you want to spend every single moment with someone. The feeling that you just can’t get enough of them….that you want to eat, drink, breathe them? Why does that feeling fade? It’s so fantastic. (Although I guess we’d never get anything else accomplished in life if it didn’t let up a little…. )

Perhaps it never really goes away – maybe it’s just the sense of urgency around it that sadly drifts.

I don’t know – but it’s a nice song anyway….

So here’s to my Valentine….. Happy “Every” Day baby. You are loved and appreciated.
