Here comes Valentine’s Day—don’t we need those happy reds, pinks, hugs and kisses more than ever?
Finding time to help our children organize their school valentine cards is hard enough. Now, what about your spouse or partner?
Years back, my husband and I stopped giving each other valentine cards. The prices were insane. The choices were either cartoonish or drippingly icky. Plus, it got too hot in the card aisle crowded next to other hot, desperate, last minute people straining to reach for a card, any card.
We decided to write each other love notes instead.
My husband and I have a history of this. In college,
he discovered that I adored getting his love notes delivered on Saturday mornings. After that, he made sure his notes arrived every Saturday on the dot. I cherished his letters but his thoughtfulness was equally important to me.
This Valentine’s Day, why not write a personal note to your loved one? Only you can choose the words that connect you both. If writing a note creates panic for you, then focus on smaller things that you appreciate.
I love it when you hold my hand… I love your green eyes…I love it when you empty the dishwasher.
Handwritten notes are winners. Mix it up with Valentine’s Day and you’ll be a winner, too.
