Valentines Day just got sweeter.
Valentine's Day isn't a big deal at our house. My other half and I believe that everyday it is important to make sure the other knows they are loved and appreciated. Sure there will be a nice dinner, and cards exchanged but no need for anything more. However, today I discovered that more could be better...
My day didn't start well. A frustrating morning on the real estate front, and I needed to take a break. I needed to run some errands, get some air, and hopefully put my morning behind me. When I returned, I found something in our mailbox.
Sofie and Lulu from next door had paid a visit while I was away. It looks as if they spent some time making something pretty special for us today! I am glad I thought to grab a few things for a Valentine's Day bag for them while out.. and I even remembered to do it without 'too much' candy...one of the things I have learned over the past year.
Sometimes there are things that show up in your life that take you by surprise. There are a lot of 'possibilities' at our house... maybe next year this day will be even more important, as will every other holiday. These two little girls are a large part of that... they have shown us that there are many things that are more important than either of us, or our careers, and reopened a discussion that we are hoping could result in a huge change in our lives.
That's one of the many great things about children. They always have a way of surprising you. Finding these waiting for me made my day, and reinforced that we are on the right path! Happy Valentine's Day Sofie and Lulu! Thank you!
