LOVE 2020: IT'S ABOUT LOVE ...

Hello Friends

I do not normally do two posts in one day –

However, I had to run to the store this evening,

And, bless their hearts – the store was full of me,

Trying to find just the right Valentine’s Day gifts

The right card, sweets, flowers, balloons, chocolate-dipped strawberries

                You name and they were trying to grab it up

I felt bad for them … I mean, I could see the stress on their faces

One poor guy walked right away from the register and left his phone

SO – it made me feel a second post was warranted today

                One that reminds all of us that IT IS ABOUT LOVE!

NOW – I know I am probably the last one that should say it;

                What with all the fuss I make

HOWEVER – my fuss is always about the love associated with Valentine’s Day

                Not necessarily the commercialism

My heart was a little sad because I know some of those guys,

                Are still going to end up in an argument tomorrow,

                Because they bought flowers but didn’t send them to her job

                Because they bought chocolates but she’s on a diet

                Because they didn’t take her out for dinner

                Because they didn’t plan an evening in and cook dinner

THAT IS NOT WHAT IT IS ABOUT FOLKS –

And, since I am a lady, I would like to talk to the ladies for a moment.

This is not a contest with your girlfriends or co-workers,

                So you can brag on everything he did for Valentine’s Day

It is also not fair to get your feelings hurt …

especially if you did not take steps to make an equal fuss over him

Guess What? MEN LIKE LOVE, APPRECIATION and GIFTS TOO!

Just saying …

And, if you have not gotten him something,

spend the evening coming up with something.

There is a neat little company called Man Crates –

Now – it is too late to get anything for tomorrow;

However – you could make your own ‘Man Crate’, 

          filling it with his favorite beverages and snacks

Homemade coupons are always nice … get creative!

How about you cook him a meal – or the two of you cook a meal together and stay in?

Does he like golf? A gift certificate to a local golf course is a great idea!

Does he like firearms? A membership to a nice range is an excellent gift.

And these things do not have to be done tomorrow – because it’s Valentine’s Day

There are a thousand ways to show love and appreciation

Valentine’s is just an extra day to demonstrate the love –

The love we should be should be showing one another all year long

And, over the next couple of weeks 

     – YES THE POSTS WILL CONTINUE PAST VALENTINE’S DAY –

     We’ll be talking about some of those ideas – that do not involve purchasing anything

In the meantime …

Have a Blessed Evening &

Remember, It’s About Love!
