Love.....What a wonderful WORD....filled with
promises of happiness, passion, contentment, security....being accepted for who
you are, what you stand for....someone to share with....plan with....understand
where you are coming from.
The official day of Lovers is Valentine's Day. I adore receiving Valentine
cards, candy and MOST especially.....FLOWERS. The Very Best flowers are cut,
live flowers. There is something about fresh-cut blossoms in the middle of cold,
gray winter days that is such a wonderful extravagance. I once, many years ago,
received an arrangement of bird of paradise on Valentine's Day from a very nice
boy named Brent . He must have been quite a bit more sophisticated than I was,
as I can remember being disappointed that they weren't, red, pink and white
something's with baby's breath....Wow, I can't believe the number of years it
took for me to grow up enough to appreciate this marvelously exotic flower and
the romance with which they are imbued . Thank you, Brent (where ever you are)
for my first romantic bouquet.
There is a lot of pressure to try and achieve the "perfect" Valentine's
Day and that can be very tough. For instance, if you are making reservations at
your favorite romantic restaurant.....don't wait for the last minute, because if
you and your Honey love the atmosphere there, so will half the other people in
your fair city. Chances are, that spontaneity isn't your best bet for February
14th. Especially if you want to sit down to eat any time before 10:30 p.m.
Because of desperate hunger,You are very likely to end up at Steak and Shake in
the booth next to the family of five whose baby is entertaining his siblings
with a lovely drum solo executed by spoon on highchair tray while Mom and Dad
wonder whether,or if ever, Romance will again visit their lives.
If Valentine's Day means a lot to you (or to the person you LOVE) then it makes
sense to work a little to create a Romantic Experience on that day. This
observation is aimed equally whether you are Male or Female. Too many women wait
secretly for the "perfect" gesture from their man and then feel let down if he
gives them bird of paradise instead of pink roses and baby breath(??)---OR EVEN
WORSE, NOTHING AT ALL!!!
I hope you are Lucky enough to have Romance in your life everyday. But it is
true that for many, (and I'm one of them) Valentine's Day is in a class by
itself. Regular romance isn't good enough for the Valentine's Day Obsessed. My
advice is to discuss a "plan" for something special a few days before the 14th.
It isn't against the rules to say, 'where shall we go, I'll make the
reservations'. If you really want flowers, but he never gets them for you,
surprise him with flowers. If you are married to the guy, have them delivered at
home and you can enjoy them too. I've bought my husband flowers three years in a
row. He is a wonderful man, just not into buying flowers (yet) but I still enjoy
the bouquets that I choose and our relationship is strong enough to aim for
overtures of caring and love sent in both directions.
Here is hoping that you will experience the Love and happiness that you deserve,
this Valentine's Day. Sometimes, the best way to be happy is to do something
loving for someone else in your life.
Love takes many forms in our lives and All the special people in each of
our lives, probably would appreciate a remembrance on Valentine's Day to remind
them that they are Loved by you. You can Mail a card or newsy little note (even
an email to those on-line, could be a nice little lift to someone's day).
Telephone someone--maybe a friend or family member that you have kind of lost
touch with-- and wish them "Happy Valentine's Day". Take a little bouquet,
potted plant or a half dozen cookies to a shut-in and spend 20 minutes visiting
with them, touching their hand or giving them a "hug" for Valentine's Day.
Studies show that many elderly do not experience any HUMAN TOUCH on a regular
basis! That is sad. So do this little kindness, and you will feel better, too.
Before Valentine's Day:
First you need to plan what you wanna do that day and what you're going to give
him/her. Do this with time, don't end up rushing at the stores for something...
You could also celebrate Valentine's for a week... Prepare your lover by giving
him/her a tiny gift each day, and then a big one on Valentine's Day.
Send him/her cyber cards, even if you live together.
Hide little notes with a piece of code that can only be put together on
Valentine's Day. The note could say anything your heart desires.
If you have been with that special person for a while now, then you can put
together a collage with some of the letters he/she has wrote to you, pictures
together, etc...Frame it and give it to him her on Valentine's Day.
On Valentine's Day:
Dress very nice...even if you decided to stay at home. Your sweetheart will like
it.
Make him/her a homemade dinner, with candles, wine (if you're legal of age) and
some soft, romantic music.
Rent a romantic movie, get a soft and warm blanket, and cuddle through the
movie.
Fill the house with chocolates, balloons, and cute romantic things, and spend
the day at home, just the two of you. What are you going to do? Well, you can
bake cookies together, give each other massages, the point is to dedicate that
day to each other.
These are just ideas, the point is for you to be a little creative and
different. Just let LOVE take charge, and everything will come out right. OH!
Another thing, you could do all of these any day of the year. We should
celebrate love everyday of our lives....
Happy Valentine's Day to you. May it bring you All the Love & Romance you hoped for..... Love
Add your own Valentines
