On Valentine’s Day endorphin levels rise and the daily doldrums are cast aside as thoughts of romance tickle our fancy. Date nights and dinners out and the perfect mushy or joke cards are exchanged. Flowers are delivered and smiles are abundant. Some receive gifts, perhaps something blingy, but no matter how we celebrate this day of love, it will rekindle the spark of the amorous heart, and perhaps cement over any little cracks since the last February 14th.
A lot of people call it just another day, but we really shouldn’t let it pass without commemorating the event. Do something simple but special for one another. You don’t need a lot of money to show you care. Leave a note on their pillow, serve coffee in bed, linger a bit longer over a hug or kiss before you head out the door. The little things mean a lot.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a big show. It’s about reconnecting and honouring feelings. Sometimes we can get lost in the day to day emotional functioning of our lives especially when a lot of times work comes before play, so we can use this day to bring feelings back into focus. Tell the someone you love, that you love them. Knowing is one thing, hearing it is the reinforcement we all cherish.
I’m pretty laid back these days. At my age, love has gone from sassy heels to a comfy pair of slippers. Being home with our fur babies at the end of the day is always a wonderful ahhhh moment and is really all I need for romance. I purchased a $10 bunch of tulips from the grocery store and told hubby ” thanks sweetie” and I couldn’t be happier. We’ll probably sit in front of the television eating dinner off our matching trays and feel perfectly comfortable on our 30th Valentine’s Day together.
To me love is in the doing. Sharing, helping one another, being there for support and encouragement and most of all laughing together. We are coming into the stage in life where love is all about friendship, comfort and compatibly and we couldn’t be happier. We are cut from the same cloth he and I and happiness for us is just hanging out....
I hope all your Valentine's wishes have come true!
