Ian was always very routine an obligatory about the flowers, the dinner out, etc. This year, he made no apologies for the absence of those things, and I received a memorable spanking instead. I deserved it, but it turned out to be very important in working out some issues that had been keeping us from each other. It turned out to be the best gift for me....and I love my husband more than ever.<br />Dd is the best gift a couple can give each other.<br />hugs and love<br />lillieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-5091545672699890292013-02-17T11:50:44.993-08:002013-02-17T11:50:44.993-08:00Hi DR, yes, I'd agree with that.

It sounds like you had an awesome night! I'm sorry about the furnace, but because of the groundwork you lay all through the year, you were able to turn it around and make it memorable for a really good reason! <br /><br />I'm glad you had a good one, sweetie!

Yes, it would not feel as profound if we didn't do that to each other. Oh mercy, and I hate hearing the - he got me candy and I don't like that kind, or I hate that color rose, or only this kind of flower and not roses, or what am I going to do with this?

I think that's the crux, isn't it? I don't expect anything, and I so appreciate the things that he does. And the things he does for me, and I for him are simply because we live to please each other. <br /><br />The doing something for him that he would not do for himself is wonderful, an expansion of the love and respect and mindfulness that you express daily!<br /><br />(((hugs)))Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03940211128244967387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-27402794861175198732013-02-17T11:34:01.398-08:002013-02-17T11:34:01.398-08:00Hi, abby, yes, exactly!

I look at vday as a day to have a little extra fun, like making things for each other which we do most years. Last night was a not so fun one but we turned it around. Both came home to a broken furnace. Yea Our furnace guy said sorry but he could get here in the morning. So Mom to the rescue. We went to the store me and hubby bought pizzas and stuff for smores. All six of us huddled in the family room with the wood stove andblankets had pizza smores and watched movies. We had a great time. I wished my hubby and all our kids a happy vday, and we were all together again our older son home. It was a great vday for all of us.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409300680541773011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-77710698489096887392013-02-14T23:26:18.246-08:002013-02-14T23:26:18.246-08:00Rick and I don't really celebrate valentines d...Rick and I don't really celebrate valentines day. We share some lovely words and cards and remind each other of our love for them but no extravagant gestures. We don't like the commercialism that society puts on valentines day and feel our love should be shared and expressed every day of the year.<br /><br />It's the little daily gestures and how we express our love day to day that matters most. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />RozRozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326826956049047973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-20527114801267035692013-02-14T20:31:49.544-08:002013-02-14T20:31:49.544-08:00June and Ward,

But we appreciate the sentiment. <br /><br />This year, we didn't discuss it. You see, every year we say it doesn't matter to us, really. But post-ttwd something kinda wonderful happened. <br /><br />He bought me a gorgeous arrangement of flowers - expensive, too. He frequently buys me flowers, so this is not all that unusual - but this arrangement is meant to last for several weeks, as is the beautiful vase it comes in. He knows I love our home and the fresh flowers represent love and vitality to me. :)<br /><br />I bought him candy (he's a sweet freak) and an item of furniture that he has expressed interest in but did not need, with a card and candles. :)<br /><br />We are both enjoying the gifts - this year especially because there is no *need* to re-affirm our love, but we both had fun with our special plans for one another because we just *wanted* to...with no discussion before hand. I honestly had no idea if he was getting anything for me, nor he, I - and it didn't matter in the least because I wanted to do something for him. He did the same. <br /><br />And we do these things everyday - a post-it or a note or a text or a surprise sweater or pair of jeans or one of us making the bed or making coffee.<br /><br />I've realized that Valentine's Day gifts are the sweetest when there are no expectations. And they don't even matter, ultimately, because every single day there is a Valentine Day gift. It's an "I love you" or a hug or a post-it. :) <br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day to you both - even if every day is Valentine's Day to you two! ;) <br /><br />Elisa XoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497106283340212317.post-88364214330363267112013-02-14T19:03:31.877-08:002013-02-14T19:03:31.877-08:00You make a good point....and the holiday can be de...You make a good point....and the holiday can be depressing for some.
