6 | FEBRUARY 2021 | ENID MONTHLY
For some unknown reason, February is closely associated with Love. It could have someRO thing to do with Single’s AwareB E RT FA U L K ness Day which is held on February 14th each year, or it could be because the cold weather is an invitation to get cuddled up under a blanket with a special someone and watch a movie. In any event, February can either be a romantic time for couples, or a difficult time for those without, or those who have lost a loved one. Regardless of your status, I encourage everyone to reach out and show some love to someone this month, whether it is family, a friend, or even a stranger (with their consent of course), we all need a little more Love in our life. Happy February!
Robert Faulk
