In This Life

“Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love's
Not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know
Deep in my heart
The only dream that
Mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you”
In this life – Ronan Keating
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, everyone’s attention is focused on what special thing they can do for their loved one which tops the roses / walks along the beach at sunset / foot massages / getting the band at the restaurant to dedicate a song to their partner spectacular event of last year. Yes, it’s the time of year to say, I love you, and this is how I show how much.
I thought the sweet, crooning voice of a sexy Irishman was appropriate for this time of year. Ronan Keating’s songs are full of messages of love and care, and give you a warm fuzzy feeling when listened to. This particular song puts everything on the line. It stands there and simply says; I love you, my dream has come true, and that is all I have ever needed in life. For all I have written in my blogs in the past five week, I think this one is the most important. Find love. And then celebrate it on the special day of love. I think we forget the meaning of love on Valentine’s Day, when we are bombarded with commercialism. I may not know much about love, but I believe Valentine’s Day should be less about spending obscene amounts of money on things they probably won’t like and more about celebrating something special. Forget getting three dozen roses and thirty heart shaped chocolates delivered to their work. Find out what your special someone wants and give it to them. Humans have so much pure, raw love to give, and this is the day to do it. And, finally, remember how lucky you are to be loved.
To those of you who have a special other half to love, I hope you have a great day with each other. To those of you who don’t think they don’t, remember your friends and family, and show them some love. Or take the risk and tell someone you love them. After all, what other day can you put everything on the line for love?
Happy Valentine’s Day!
