Valentine's Day Wish

You hear a lot about wishing on stars, wishing for joy at Christmas, wishing for world peace at the Miss America pageant. But today, on St. Valentine's Day, I wish for love. Pure, unadulterated love.

Love drives out fear and escapism. It reduces domestic violence, abuse, loneliness, and hopelessness. Love makes life worth living.

It's easy to love people who love us back. It's not so easy to love everyone else. Here's a wish that love would reign supreme, today and every other day.

Love,
Bitterroot Mama

P.S. After going through today, I hope that next year I won't have to clean poop out of the bath tub.
