If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.

- Maya Angelou -

“The reason for our suffering is our resistance to the changes in life. And life is all changes. While I resist change (and suffer) just like anyone else, I have learned to adapt. I’ve learned some flexibility.

My beloved child, today you celebrate everywhere on your planet the day of love, Valentine’s Day. You write love letters and send hearts and love to your family and friends. This is a beautiful tradition, even if it is affected by the consumerism which is related to it. But let’s stick with the meaning that lies in that day: You show and present your love!

But you forget all too easily a particularly important person that day. The most important one in your life at all. Namely Yourself. Give also yourself your own beautiful love. Spoil yourself, give yourself something beautiful what you’ve been asking for so long, such as a day out in nature or together with your loved ones. Take a break in which you are only there for yourself. There are so many ways to pamper yourself. Enjoy your love, for you have earned it. You are valuable and a beautiful soul who deserves all the love, especially Your love.

Two people were killed Friday as high winds and huge waves battered Britain, adding more misery to coastal communities already hit by widespread flooding. One woman died in central London when part of a building collapsed on the minicab she was driving during a heavy windstorm. One cruise ship passenger also died after high winds kicked up giant waves in the English Channel. The army was also called in to rescue 30 people from a seafront restaurant in Hampshire southwest of London after high winds blew a shingle through its windows, allowing flood waters in. Officials said Saturday that 22 severe flood warnings are in place, meaning lives are in danger at those points. More heavy rain and winds are expected Saturday.
