Always Celebrate Love Love -

It really is important to always celebrate love.

Holidays remind us to express our love in tangible ways.

Brayden loves to Celebrate

My grandson, Brayden, loves to help me bake, but he’s never satisfied to just have an ordinary cake. He always wants to add stuff. Sometimes he suggests sprinkles, chocolate chips or marshmallows. I love his creativity. Folks like Brayden are the reason we have some descendant desserts! Still, I am thankful he doesn’t like garlic!

Brayden’s extra ingredients usually make his cake something special and that’s what celebrations do for life. It is so easy to get caught up in the mundane.

The ordinary.

Go to work.

Make the beds.

Do the laundry.

Fight with the kids…don’t pretend you don’t!

Life can get pretty boring without celebrations-

those pauses that add a spark of fun or excitement to life. So add a little spark to your February by showing your mate you love them. I know it’s tempting to skip the whole valentine deal, but don’t do it! Keep your love fresh and exciting with precious celebrations.

The stores are filled with enticing offers of how to make your sweetheart feel special, but honestly, you should know how to do that better than anyone else in the world. If you don’t, today is a great day to find out.

Ask those important questions:

What do I do that makes you feel loved?
What would you like for me to do to show you I love you?
What do I do that drains your love tank?
