Love Should be Shown 365 Days

"Is it Valentine's Day time already?  Didn't I just show you how much I loved you last year?  Are we doing this Valentine's Day thing again this year?"

Valentine's Day is one of the most romantic days in the year.  Other than Christmas, it’s one of the most commercially celebrated holidays of the year. Does this day stress you?  Do you wonder what you can give your boyfriend or your husband?  Your girlfriend or your wife? Guys everywhere are wondering how they can pay for the dozen red roses that their girlfriend or wife is expecting on this consequential day. And girls are wondering, "What in the world do you get a guy for Valentine's Day?"

However; your budget may be limited or you just might want to do something a little different.  Sometimes it’s the smallest of gifts that can mean the most. A simple "I love you", a heart-felt card, something handmade, cooking dinner, a day free of chores, a massage, or completing something off the "honey-do-list".  But as with any gift just remember it is better received when your love is shown 365 days a year and not just demonstrated on Valentine's Day.

Oozing with Talent

"Is there anything that you can't do?"   That is often my question to my sister.  She is oozing with talent.  And since she is not the type to toot her own horn, I am going to TOOT it for her.  I have always admired the many talents that my sister possesses.  She is the "Jack of all Trades" but she would say, "And the Master of None".  Just to mention a few, she can draw and paint just about anything. A few years ago she actually made a good living painting Christmas shirts for the Opryland Hotel and was featured on QVC. A better seamstress you couldn't find. She has decorating skills that others acquire through training.  She can create something from very little. And as of lately she has been upcycling and redesigning beautiful furniture items. But probably one of the most noteworthy characteristic is that she is..."all that"...but yet one of the most humble, kindhearted individuals that considers herself, "Not all that".  So when asked,"Is there anything that you can't do?", she will continue to laugh and say,"Yeah lots" as she puts the last finishing touches on the headboard she is building.  And I will just shake my head and think to myself how my sister is "OOZING WITH TALENT!"
