Dear Friends,

Today is Valentine's Day. Some of you may be feeling sad, if
you don't have a Valentine or your Valentine will not be with you.
Well I want you to quit feeling sad, because you do have someone to
shower attention on! YOU! Also for those of you whose husband always
forgets this goes for you too.

It is so easy to show others we care, but when was the last time you
showed yourself that you care!

Here are some simple ways to FLY and Bless all of our hearts; not
just on Valentines Day!

Nothing says "I love you" like a fluffy, clean bath mat.

Nothing says, 'I love you,' like Undivided Attention... 86 the guilt,
add peace... with a side of aahhhhh!

Nothing says I love you like "clean underwear, grabbed from your
dresser drawer".

Nothing says I Love You like.....walking through your house in the
dark and not hurting your toes on any clutter! :)

Nothing says "I love you" like fresh, clean sheets and pillowcases!

Nothing says "I love you" like being able to strain the spaghetti in
the shiny sink anytime instead of having to try to scoop it out of
the pan of hot water with a slotted spoon, assuming that a clean one
is available when you need it, because the sink is piled too high
with dirty dishes.

Nothing says I love you like candles & fresh roses in my now clean
home! A couple times each month I buy a dozen mixed colored roses
from the grocery store floral dept. for $5.99 & put them in my pretty
vase on the dining table. Then I pick one out to put in the crystal
vase on my bathroom counter. I make sure to take time each day to
smell my beautiful roses!

Nothing says I love you like having the coffee pot set up so all you
have to do is totter into the kitchen and hit the ON button. then
walk back to your room and proceed to wake up w/ a shower and clean
clothes. (and i'll admit, ive even gone back to sleep a lil while
longer too.) then greet the day w/ a hot cup of coffee.

I love myself by setting up the coffeepot. I love my dh by setting it
up too. one of us gets up earlier than the other, and its sooooo much
easier to just hit the button and not have to fumble with it all. im
NOT a morning person by any means.

Nothing says I love you like having plenty of tissues during cold and
allergy season.

Nothing says 'I Love You' like having fresh towels folded and ready
to go when it's needed.

Nothing says "I love you" like the floor of the car not covered in
coffee
cups, junk mail, overdue library books and other s.t.u.f.f.!

Nothing says I love you like a dinner that doesn't come from a box,
bag, or take-out container!

Nothing says "I love you" like a freshly shoveled, snowless sidewalk
to your home!

Nothing says "I love you" like a home-cooked meal! (Even if it IS
made in the crockpot!)

Nothing says "I love you" like... a positive attitude.

Nothing says "I love you" like being able to sit on the couch and not
have to move the toys/laundry/stuff off.

Nothing says I love you like paying the bills on time so there are no
embarrassing phone calls from solicitors, or utilities being shut
off, or cars being repossessed.

Nothing says I love you like....The smell of dinner cooking to
welcome you home.

Nothing says I love you like....A made bed.

Nothing says I love you like....A bowl of soup in bed when you're
feeling sick.

Nothing says I love you like....Homemade breakfast.

Nothing says I love you like....A spare deodorant on the bathroom
shelf.

Nothing says I love you like getting up in the morning and fixing
yourself up just for you!

Nothing says I love you like blessing your home because you live
there and for no other reason!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love it!  :D

I remember that site! I used to wander through there! I forgot what I'd been missing!  :D

Sure makes housework sound a lot better!  ;)

This is a really cool post, for guys and girls alike!  :)

Next time my husband tries to find that perfect gift for me to show his love, I can direct him here!  ;D

Nothing says I love you like...the fine art of saying I love you without words. I love it!

...and If we dont hear "I love you honey," "I love you more than the whole world," "I love you so much," "I'm so in love with you that I can't live without you," and "I love you more."...perhaps we should try listening with our hearts instead of our ears  ;)


Who said "I love you" to you today? If you're thinking, "No one," think again. There are a million ways to tell someone you love them -- and for lots of them, you don't even have to talk!

Thanks! What a great reminder, Shylynne!
