This week we celebrated President’s Day. Many will still work on this holiday, but a lot of you will had the day off and got to relax, reenergize and possibly reflect. We reflected on President’s Day and the message of love it shares.

George Washington supposedly chopped down a cherry tree when he was a kid. The story has it that when young George’s father gave him his own sharpened hatchet, little George was so excited he ran outside and chopped down a tree. When his father took notice of the downed tree, he asked his son if he knew how the tree became axed. Young George looked at his father and said “Father, I cannot tell a lie; I chopped down the tree.” Whether this story is fact or fiction the message is important. This is one of the first stories children hear about the importance of honesty and the power of truth.

Honesty and truth are beautiful traits you can find in the sphere of real love. Think about everyone you love in your life. That love has many different traits, including honesty. Love is honest. When love is honest it is wholesome.

Little George Washington was honest with his father, meaning he was also honest with himself. When you are honest with yourself, you allow that honesty to be shared with others. That is love.

The ones you love deserve honesty. An authentic love is pure, which can make relationships magical. So at a young age, George Washington discovered that being genuine allowed him to share the love.

Let’s not forget that President’s Day also celebrates number 16, Mr. Abraham Lincoln who also went by Honest Abe. The story has it that Mr. Lincoln, as an attorney, would  charge very little to his clients who made less money than he did (and Abe didn’t make a lot). Another story goes that Mr. Lincoln received $25.00 dollars for attorney services rendered. Mr. Lincoln sent back $10.00, informing the client that they were being much to generous. Now, that’s showing some love.

Enjoy your day. Enjoy the ones you love.
