Rediscovering Your Inner Self this Valentine's Day

When I think of February I think of relationships, winter half over, and mud season lurking in the background. Now that Valentines Day is looming, one always talks about love and being with the right partner. Yes, good, but there is more to it than that. First you have to love yourself! So… I choose to write about relationships…YOU AND YOUR INNER CHILD.

Is that hard? Do you find that to be selfish? What do you consider to be the definition of selfish?  How does that affect you? Take a look in the mirror; do you like what you see? Who is it? What might you want to change, and I am not asking for botox answers here.

As Baby Boomers become more “booming” in their later years, they find the best part of them is hidden/silent. I am talking about their relationship to their inner child; the one that lives deep within each of us. It was that child who used to run through puddles, play outside all night, and do crazy things. What was the craziest thing you did lately?

We all need to play and have fun! It is critical to nurturing ourselves. So drop what you are doing, take off your shoes and socks…wiggle your toes, and then try to pick something off the floor with your to...now laugh! Do something spontaneous.

Just before writing this I had two choices of roads to drive home. I chose the one with the largest puddle…one that covered both sides of my cars as I drove through it. I could feel the child inside me giggle. I laughed outwardly and for three seconds I was 6 years old again, wading through the pond on an inner tube.

What will you do?
