Okay, so this entry may seem a little late, but Valentine's Day is sort of still going on at my house. We didn't have the money, or time to celebrate on Monday by going out to dinner or giving each other gifts, not even cheap ones. None of that really matters much to either of us anyway. So instead, I made a special dinner for us and we re-decorated our Christmas tree. Yes, that's right, I said the Christmas tree. Hay, it's white and has pastel lights on it so it serves double-duty. We decorated it with pink paper hearts and wrote on each one either "I Love You Because..." or "My Happiness is..." and something personal.
Do something special for the one you love every day. Send a text, bring home a single rose, or make dinner even if all you know how to do is warm up canned soup. My husband brought home bagels for breakfast so I wouldn't have to cook and made pizza rolls for dinner just last night and I love him more for it. Showing someone you love them doesn't have to be pricey or difficult, as long as it's sincere.
My husband is from Louisiana so the decorations on the tree will shortly change over to the purple, gold and green of Mardi Gras, but I'm keeping the hearts. I think we'll add to them next year.
