Heartfelt Originally uploaded by andi2 . I really like the idea of this ring. It has a special mark in the inside where no-one can see it. Only the giver and the receiver will know what is hidden inside.

Another interesting article I found floating around the Internet: There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships. Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words. When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that have soured. The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship. 1. Let me help Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out. 2. I understand you. People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship. And this can apply to any relationship. 3. I respect you Respect is another way of showing love. Respect dem

Previously, I posted on love letters. I just came across a wonderful example of a love letter. Here is a small excerpt: You once asked me if I would do it all again. In spite of everything, dear, the answer is yes; because all of it happened with YOU.

Dancing with your sweetie is a great activity. It is good exercise as well as being fun. Now there is evidence to show that dancing might be good for the mind. In the U.S. News and World Report we read: Frequent dancing, for example, which demands musical concentration and knowing where to put your feet while engaging in polite conversation, showed a robust 75 percent reduction in risk. Activities like knitting, gardening, and traveling afford similar benefits. Having a healthy mind and body is important. Find interesting and challenging things to do as a couple. Things that don't require sitting on the couch. So here's a prescription: a few chapters of Harry Potter, the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle, and some ballroom dancing to relaxing music with a partner you really like. That just may be the real secret to happy retirement.

I have never before read Frankenstein. I've seen the various movies based on the book. However, I have never actually sat down and read the book. Well, I have been correcting that omission. I was reading Frankenstein , well actually I was listening to it on my free iPod , and was struck by the following : I wished, as it were, to procrastinate all that related to my feelings of affection until the great object, which swallowed up every habit of my nature, should be completed.

I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule. If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken

A very clever blogger shared a great notion of a simple, inexpensive and romantic Valentine's gift. Over at Cleverly Blogged we read: " I once sent [my sweetie] a card that said: You are the twinkie in my brown bag lunch of life She thought that was a very sweet thing for me to have said. So from time to time I'll buy her a twinkie as a reminder that she still is the twinkie in my brown bag lunch of life." Good work and a good example for us all.

OK, I know Valentine's Day is over, but I just saw this today. Just keep it in mind for next year, eh. Here is what you do to send your Valentine's Day wishes to a loved one: you correctly address your greeting card and affix the appropriate postage. You then place your greeting card in a larger envelope, again with the correct postage that you send to the following address: Claire Langevin Postmaster Saint-Valentin Post Office SAINT-VALENTIN QC J0J 2E0 There is also another one: To receive a unique cancellation and Valentine cachet, just enclose your pre-stamped, pre-addressed Valentines in a larger 1st Class envelope and mail it to: Love, Saskatchewan S0J 1P0

Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life ... Move beyond living together and live joyfully together. Make your sweetie laugh. Share your goals and dreams while helping your sweetheart to fulfill theirs. Smile. Express gratitude in word and in deed.
