Grateful For Love : Looking Back on February

As February ends, I’m looking back at the way love and kindness appeared quietly, steadily, without asking for attention. I’m grateful for love.

This month, despite all the stress and hospital visits, I felt rooted and secure. Love wasn’t something I had to search for or prove. It was already there, woven into my days, grounding me in what was real and present.

February was steady. Familiar rhythms, repeated gestures, and the simple comfort of showing up again and again brought a sense of calm.

The month felt soft. Yes, there were hectic days and times when I felt absolutely frazzled, but I gave myself grace and moved on, putting one foot in front of the other, being more gentle with myself.

I felt especially connected. To my community/ies, through shared words, quiet support, and the feeling of not walking alone. And to José, in everyday conversations, shared moments, and the ease of being known without explanation. To Lucky in our walks and small routines and fun. Love found in togetherness that doesn’t need to be loud.

I was also more attentive than usual. Once I noticed, love kept revealing itself in small acts of care, in ordinary moments, and in the playful discovery of heartstones – small and solid reminders to pause, to breathe, to look closely.

Looking back, I see how being attentive changed the tone of the month. Gratitude replaced striving. Love felt less like something to strive for and more like something I was already immersed in.

February reminded me that love can be steady, soft, connected, and quietly attentive all at once. And that, I realise now, is more than enough.

I’d love to hear how this month went for you. What held you steady? What are the choices you made that led to more peace and love in your life? And if things didn’t go well, do share that too. This is not about perfection, it’s about noticing.
