Today is Day One of fourteen days of Valentine's Day holiday.
Have you decided to try the challenge, yes, I am calling this a challenge to show that special person how much they mean to you.
It was fun when my husband did this for me few years back. He had picked up few items at a time then put them on the desk near the computer each day for me to find. A little note accompanying the gift is fun also. You can say something simple such as
'Happy Day (whatever day it is) of Valentine's Day'
DAY TWO GIFT IDEA
Day Two....Coffee mug with hearts on it for the design.
For Day Two you can find a mug at any dollar type store. You can also put in some chocolates inside or packets of hot chocolate; anything that would fit inside that they might enjoy. The year my husband did this inside the mug he put a small bottle of hand sanitizer and purse size pack of tissues (after all it is the cold and flu season). Yes I did appreciate that very much.
For the random act of showing someone you are thinking of them give them a mug with a box of conversational hearts inside. As I mentioned yesterday, you can still celebrate the holiday with acts of cheer to others.
As my husband and I previously done the Fourteen Day challenge for Valentine's Day; this year we are doing either surprises for one another or showing someone we are thinking of them as we care. Our actions will change from day to day of course. Perhaps one day he'll be receiving the little gift and perhaps someone else. Of course I'll keep you all posted.
Until tomorrow.....enjoy the day. I'll let you know about our Day One surprise in the next blog.
Enjoy today's poem.

CELEBRATION of LOVE
©Scottie-ann Murphy
The day if the year we express our gratitude of love
To that one person we hold dear in our heart
We show our love by bestowing upon them tokens....
Flowery bouquets....
Boxes of chocolates....
Jewelry gifts....
Bottles of champagne....
A special night on the town....
And cards with hearts,
Cupids
And messages of love
On that occasion we should take a moment to ponder...
How the world around us may have changed with the times
But....
Our love....for that special someone
Is always constant....
Growing stronger each new day
Some days that person can do no wrong
In our eyes
They are flawless and perfect
At times we wonder....
About their imperfections and faults
Still....our love for them remains unconditional
We should appreciate and say "I Love You"
To that special person who makes us complete
Not only in the holiday of hearts, cupids and flowers
But....each and everyday of the the year
