Sorry it's been so long since I've posted last, but I guess that having a baby does that to you! ;) First of all Happy Valentine's Day (or if you're bitter and hate this day, then Happy Single Awareness Day to you!)! I hope that you get to spend the day with the one or ones that you love most.
Most people are stuck in the mind set that Valentine's Day is the one day a year when you show that special someone that you love exactly how much you love them. I think Adam Sandler said it, or tweeted it rather, best; he said "those of you guys who are only treating your lady like a queen one day a year are failing the other 364". I think that this is one of the smartest things that he's ever said (now if you've seen Adam Sandler's movies, you know what I'm talking about). Now not that it just applies to men treating their ladies, but also to the ladies treating their men. I think the mind set that we show our love on only one day a year is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.
Now guys, I'm not saying that you have to come home everyday with a fresh boquet of flowers for your lady (or ladies slaving over the stove to cook his favorite meals everyday); but for me it's the little things that say "I love you" the loudest and the things that you may want to try everyday. For example, when my hubby does the little things for me like load and unload the dishwasher without me mentioning it, or bringing down the laundry hamper and getting the first load of laundry started. To me, these are the biggest expressions of love because Brian knows that he is helping me out. And I know that Brian loves it when I massage his scalp when we lay on the couch, or when I rub his back before he drifts off to sleep, and the greatest thing when I stop by the class six and pick up a six pack and put it in the fridge just because.
So I think that love needs to be shown everyday, not always in grand gestures, but in the little things. Because if we are just waiting around for that one day a year, should our better half sit around and wait for us? <3
My Little Valentine <3 |
