What do you really want? Honestly? Do you want more chocolate? Okay, sure. Do you want more flowers? Well, yeah. But what is it that you truly want, in your heart of hearts, more than anything?
I have thought about that a lot this year. Valentines Day is also my anniversary, so there is a double whammy here that I want to be sure to take advantage of. I dont need a lot of jewelry, I tend to repel earrings and have a jewelry box full of single posts and hoops. I dont need a lot of candy, I hide bags around the house so when I need a fix I can usually find some kind of chocolate hidden in a sock drawer somewhere. Flowers are great, but frankly, the poinsettas are still alive and glowing around the house and I hate to throw them out quite yet.
So what do I really want? I want my husband.
Yes, its true. I want him…and I want him to myself. I want the kids out of the house and I dont want to share him with anyone. I dont want to be in a restaraunt with other diners or waiters asking us if we want more wine. I dont want any friends over, although I can think of a few close ones that I adore and would be happy to start the evening with, but then I would hope that they would leave, so I could have my favorite friend all to myself. I love hanging out with my husband, and I cant think of anything Id rather do or anyone else Id rather be with.
My language of love has always been TIME. Spend time with me and I know you love me. It doesnt really matter what we’re doing, if I feel like you carved out a space for me in your busy week, and you marked it on your calendar, and you are totally focused on US, I am totally satisfied. And honestly it doesnt matter what we’re doing.
But, hey, if there were rose petals and champagne and a fire in the fireplace I wouldnt complain.
I hope my husband is reading this.
So, what do you really want this Valentines Day?
