Love And Marriage

Life is so busy - but not too busy to pause and celebrate love on Valentine's Day.

But I don't feel the need for exuberance on this Valentine's Day. I already know that I am blessed to have the man in my life that I have. He is my true partner…and I love him more and more every day. And I never hesitate to tell him that.

Why stress over a silly Valentine gift? Why not just acknowledge the day for what it is - an additional opportunity to celebrate our love.

We won't be jockeying for reservations to a fancy restaurant. There will be no extravagant gifts.

After work, I plan to bring home Chinese take-out. Hubby is in charge of swinging through the grocery store and bringing home a decadent dessert. (I'm hoping for cheesecake!) We'll spend the evening cuddling on the couch watching TV or a movie. Just the two of us.

And our two dogs.

And the two fat cats.

A celebration of love, indeed.
