February 14th, the day of red hearts and cupids! I've never understood why we only set aside one day per year to focus on one of the most important things in the world-LOVE! Seems to me everyday should be the day for expressing how much we love and care for others.
Valentine’s Day. The red hearts make us feel like love and happiness is all around. We see images of couples hugging and gazing into each other’s eyes and we want that. We go shopping at beautifully decorated stores and envision making our loved one feel special and cherished. And, secretly, we hope our partners are thinking and doing the same for us. The spirit behind Valentine’s Day is beautiful. Don’t we all want more of it though?
It’s usually the small things that make the biggest difference to us. If someone takes the time to really know you and show you they know and appreciate who you are, then happiness and the feeling that we wish for each and every Valentine’s Day can be felt more often than just February 14th.
Can this philosophy be directed toward our children too? Absolutely! Who doesn’t like to be loved this way? Does your child mention a song or artist they love? Why not find it on iTunes and secretly download it to their iPod. Does your husband love a certain type of food from his heritage? Why not cook that for him as a surprise? Does your wife love romance? Surprise her with a beautiful romance novel and a rose one day.
It doesn’t take much, but the rewards of doing little things for our loved ones — and doing them OFTEN — are immeasurable. Study your wife, husband or child, then use this information to bring happiness into your home on a regular basis, not just on the day when someone tells you to.
Valentine's Day is not the only day to show love. Romance does not have to be a bottle of expensive wine, or a bouquet of flowers. It can be a phone call to say, "I love you," a homemade card, or simply doing the something for someone.
Romance is not something you do once a year. It's a daily lifestyle!
