Everyday a day to show you care

Valentine day is coming up next weekend, hubby and I don’t really have plans for it because I have a woman retreat that weekend. We sometimes will go out but you know every weekend we go out and spend time just him and I. We don’t really celebrate it but it a nice day to let someone know they are special to you and mean a lot, one way to do that is personalized gifts. Gifts are nice to get and give, but we need to remember that if we only do that once a year does it actually tell that person we love them and care for them. Does it really show them anything at all if we only show them once a year, I don’t believe it does, what lets me know my husband values me is when he comes home with Flowers. When he comes home with something he knows I like even if it’s something which cost only a buck or so. It’s nice to sometimes have something given to you nice, for no reason at all but just to let the person your thinking about them.
As a wife and a caregiver or a elderly parent, sometimes I do feel a little overlooked or under appreciated. Sometimes it what’s for dinner, or I need this or that. Or what have you, or clean this not realizing that the cleaning fairies don’t come in to clean the house. I appreciate it when my husband comes home and notices I cleaned the house or done something and actually says something, it lets me know what I have been doing is noticed. This shouldn’t only be told to someone once a year it should be told to them often enough so that when valentine day comes they don’t feel your just being nice because of a stupid romantic holiday, and shoot you don’t show me it. Now I am not saying my hubby is perfect and seeing or acknowledging what I have done, he needs some improve but so do I. I don’t always tell hubby I see what he does, but sometimes in the store if I know he wants something I will get it for him.
Just like with our relationship with G-d we can’t just well thank HIM once a year, and be good with it. It hard to build a relationship with someone when you do not spend time with them.
