We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day around here so much, but I have decided it is a great day to let others know that you care about them and that you are thinking about them, whether you do it with a note, or a double chocolate and vanilla cheesecake. We all have different love languages and some are physical gifts, there are words of affirmation, touch, gifts of service (if anyone wants to come and do my dishes)??? and last but not least, is the gift of time. Wow, that is a big one. It seems that the more conveniences that we have, the more we fill our time with other things like social media, or going to the gym. Growing up on a farm, that was going to the gym all day long. Just look at all the money I saved. Ha ha. Hey and I bet you didn’t know that the school counselor, when he would call me in, would embarrass me and say, you really should try out for the football team, your muscles are bigger than most of the team. I wish I had that problem now. In fact, now it is the opposite. Now I have grandma arms. My muscles all fell the other way.:)
