Today is all about love. And yes, I love my family and friends so much. And even though I’m missing romantic love, I know I am truly blessed. Yesterday, someone at the office told me I looked like I was dressed for Valentine’s Day. I responded, “I did it intentionally to prove I’m not a bitter spinster.”
