Rosa, this is fantasic. In my more cynical days I would spout off about how Valentines Day is just a corporate ruse initiated by the flower, chocolate, and greeting card industries to make some outrageous revenues. And while I have chosen to get none of those things for my wife this year, I have chosen to return to the very meaning of the holiday which is to love and appreciate my wife for all that she is and does (and if for no other reason, for putting up with my emotional scattershots lately).
You also ended with something that made me pause and fully take in your wisdom. You wrote, "They want someone braver than they are to show them the way; they need your good example." It does take courage and fierceness to tred a different path in the workplace and the rest of life. I just like how you say it.
Happy Valentines Day to you...
