Happy Valentine’s Day

As you all know Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.  I do feel that Valentine’s Day is too commercialized and as I’ve always felt, you should show this type of love all year round.  But since Valentine’s Day is in existence, might as well celebrate! 

I always say try to do something from the heart.  What I mean is its very nice if you want to buy your loved one something, but I always feel you don’t need to purchase something to express how you are feeling.  So if you want to buy something, in addition, give something that is made by you. For examples, something like a poem, handmade card, draw a bubble bath and light some candles, if you usually do not cook then cook a special dinner, make a special scrap book, put songs that remind you of your relationship on your partners iPod without them knowing, play it on Valentine's Day and share a dance, or write your favorite memories of/with your partner and read it to them.  This is a nice touch and so very special because you can’t buy that anywhere….it’s one of a kind.

My challenge to you is:

What special gift will you make this Valentine’s Day to show your love to your partner?

My Thought:
Have fun and consider at least once a month doing something special for your partner that was made by you!
