Dear Reader,
Happy Valentine's Day.
Valentine's day has just gone by. As an afterthought, here's a post above love. So, did you tell someone in your life that you love them on the 14th? Often in the grind of our lives we forget to tell our loved ones that we love them. We wait for occasions like these. I think it is because we assume that they know.
Why don't we express love more readily? I read somewhere very recently that emotions are not a part of our conscious thoughts. Human beings are inherently selfish and hence we don't spend too much time thinking about how much we love our spouse, parents, siblings, kids, friends, etc.
Let's change that for a moment, now. Let's think about how much these relationships, these people mean to us. And let's take a few minutes out of our busy schedules to tell them that. Let's profess our love on the 364 days as well. Little actions of love goes a long way in nurturing a relationship.
I know of a friend whose husband offers her a foot massage when he knows she has had a tough day at work. Now, isn't that love? One of my colleagues made personalized notes for everyone in her team. The note says something that will cheer them up every morning. Guess what, most of them left the notes on their desks until they faded, curled up and fell off. Some of them are still there.
This tells me that words make a difference. They are powerful. So may be, you want to write a love note for your loved one. May be, that'll be the greatest gift cherished forever. I know I do!!
