Happy Valentine’s Day 2011
My friendships are very important to me, as anybody who reads my blog will know (and anybody who knows me at all). So much so that I make the time in my hyper busy schedule to at least, see most of my good friends once or twice in a period of 2 months at the bare minimum. In Mexico, February 14th marks “The Day of Love and Friendship” (Día del Amor y la Amistad). For me, Valentine’s Day has always been, a celebration of friendship.
This year, for the first time ever, I organized giveaways for Valentine’s Day, and I hope at least to have brightened some folks’ days with that. Thanks to every company who partnered with me for those giveaways (also, full disclosure: I did NOT receive any freebies from any of the companies that sponsored my contests for myself, all promotional items went to the winners of my contests, my readers).
I know for some people Valentine’s Day is a day that they dread or annoys them. For me, as it is a day when I acknowledge how lucky I am to have the friends I do, and how lucky I am that they love me as much as I love them, it’s never a day that I dislike. Today and every day, to those of you whom I am honored to call friends: THANK YOU.
For being there for me.
For reminding me of who I am every day.
For celebrating my successes and helping me stand up when I fall.
For laughing with me when happy times hit and for consoling me when I’m sad.
For loving me for who I am and not for who other people think I am.
For not letting me burn out and reminding me to take time for myself.
For supporting me in succeeding in my chosen career path.
The list is too long (and I feel blessed about that!), but you know who you are, and I love you.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
