And, hello three day weekend!
It has been quite a couple of weeks, and I’m very happy to
say that work has gradually started to turn from completely and utterly insane,
to just utterly insane. I’m really going
to relish the quiet time of this weekend.
I recently watched a TV show episode, which featured the
importance of small gestures. I feel
starved for romance. And, I love me some
romance. I mean, who doesn’t dream of the
guy that actually comes to your door to pick you up for a date, and who takes
your hand when you walk somewhere together, or even the simple act
of showing up with a pizza and a bottle of wine after work, when they know that
you’ve had a rough day? I’m not looking
for lavish gifts or flowers on the regular, just some thoughtful gestures.
Surprisingly, the person I love did think of me this
Valentine’s Day. He gave me an
incredibly thoughtful gift that couldn’t be more me. And, even more surprisingly, he gave the gift
to me a week early, after I told him I had had a bad day. He can be incredibly kind and thoughtful when
he wants to be.
I consider myself to be single, but am I? I’m not quiet sure. Regardless, since I am embracing self-love,
it got me thinking… Can I romance myself?
Honestly, I’m not quiet sure that the impact will be the same as if
someone else did these things, but it’s certainly nice to pamper yourself.
I am excited to report that this Valentine’s Day weekend, I
will be making myself some red velvet pancakes, painting my nails, and
indulging in a little shopping.
Below are some great options for romancing oneself that I
want to keep in my repertoire for future use:
- Buy yourself some flowers.
- Take yourself out to dinner.
- Take yourself out for a mani/pedi.
- Buy some lingerie to wear to bed or under your clothes.
- Go out to a movie.
- Go to the theatre or ballet.
- Indulge in a decadent dessert.
- Play hooky from work and do whatever you want.
- Go out for breakfast at a cute bistro.
- Go out to listen to music/jazz.
