Another Valentine’s Come and Gone
15 February 2008So yesterday was THE day.
The day where you either felt very loved. Translated that means your significant other actually took the time and energy to show their love in a way that made you feel special.
Or it was the day that your insignificant piece of <insert appropriate word here>
Or it was the day you sit around feeling “less than” because you don’t even have even an insignificant piece of anything in your life.
Whatever the case the fact remains that it’s just another day. A day many claim is just a super hyped marketing ploy with no real sentiment just pressure to do THE romantic thing or have THE perfect significant other. Anything less makes you less than.
I’m a sap. I like sucky romantic things. I like that my guy took the time and energy to dedicate himself to finding me a card that shows how he feels for me. Throughout the year I pull all the cards he’s given me out, give them a read and feel good about us. I know he’s put less effort into buying the card than he does keeping his hockey skates sharp but they make me feel loved anyway.
However, little does he know that he gave me a better gift the night before. We were in a local bar, surrounded by a bunch of his macho hockey playing men friends when I caught him staring at me. I gave him a “what’s up” shrug of my shoulders and he said, loudly, “I love you and you are the sexiest woman ever!” The conversations around the table stopped and he had all the guys looking at him. He didn’t even notice, he was too busy looking at me.
And that’s the secret. Make your partner feel like they are THE only person for you. Not one day a year, not all the time so it loses it’s meaning and becomes mundane but often. Do the little little things and watch how they add up.
My contribution to this year’s Valentine’s was a home baked, heart-shaped cake. I hate cooking so for me that was an effort, lol. I topped it off with a really romantic card and a Valentine’s puppy.
The moral to the story; take the time and show the person you love that you love them. Make an effort!
