Sharing LoveFebruary is here, bringing Valentine’s Day, and with it dozens of tiny paper cards

to help our children sign, little packages of heart-shaped candies all over the place,and messages of romance and affection. Everywhere we look, there are reminders of love.

Although you may find the whole Valentine’s Day thing to be clichéd, it can be agood time to look at how love plays out in your life.

In your role as a mom, love just comes with the territory. Every time you hold achild, wipe away a tear, read a story, or tuck a little one into bed at the end of the day,you express love to a precious child. Your rewards may include drawings, songs, bigsmiles and enthusiastic hugs and kisses. While children are young, at least, the “Ilove you’s” come easily to you and to them.

Then there’s the rest of the family – spouses, parents, siblings and so forth – thepeople who are so important, but to whom love can sometimes be harder to convey.Still, you usually know the “currency” of your relatives. Perhaps your mom likesnothing more than having some one-on-one time together. Maybe your sister loves aphone call, or your brother a newsy e-mail. Your husband… well, this is a familypublication. At any rate, the hard part is often just making the time for the things thatare important to each of these people, so that the love you feel is tangible to THEM,not just to you, in your head.

Letting your friends know how much they mean to you is often easier; sincefriendships are voluntary, it’s almost a given that the time friends spend togetheraffirms the value that each person places on the other.

But there’s one more person who needs to be considered when you think aboutlove, who is probably easier to overlook than anyone – YOU. You undoubtedly do somuch for so many others, but are you taking the time that you really need, just tonurture yourself? Moms will often say that there just isn’t any time left in the day,after caring for everyone else, but the truth behind that statement is that they don’tMAKE time. Moms need to put as much value on themselves as on everyone else, andspend time accordingly. Every day, ideally, you should try to set aside at least a fewminutes to read a good book, take a warm bath, go for a walk, or do whatever willmake you feel taken care of. And you can’t wait for someone else to suggest it, give itto you, or make it happen – it has to be up to you, and you have to make it a priority.

If you can do this, even amidst your busy life, you’ll havemore to offer to everyone else, you’ll be a happier mom, andyou’ll just feel better. Then you won’t mind so much when youhave to help your kids with all those little paper Valentine’s Day cards.
