how to let our spouses KNOW for Valentine's Day

January 10, 2008

Hi Everyone,

Several people on this loop are super lucky to have caring and wonderful

spouses who support us emotionally, spiritually and physically on this odd

journey we have on Stilligan's Island. I happen to be one of the very fortunate

ones. Just a quick note to tell you something very easy and romantic and caring

to do for Valentine's Day that Al did for me one year.

He bought a box of children's Valentines - the kind where they're are 30 per

box. He addressed and wrote some wonderful little remark on each and every

one and hid them all over the apartment. The first one was in an obvious

place. I thanked him, like yippee - a kid's valentine's card. I asked, " where

are

the rest? " He explained that they are all over and I'd have to find them. For

the following 3 years, I found valentines cards. One was during a fight, and

that totally ended the fight. I found them in the box of opposite season's

shorts, in the bottom towel in a pile of towels, under a throw rug.

Everywhere. And each time, it warmed my heart.

It was cheap, wonderful and the most loving thing a man ever did for me. I

remember hearing him on the phone the next day tell a buddy of his on the

phone who had bought his wife a real diamond tennis bracelet, " all I spent was

$1.99 and I got lucky! "
