Valentine's Day History and things

2011-02-13T12:30:00.001-06:00

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

The History of Saint Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day started in the time of the Roman Empire. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday to honour Juno. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.
The lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. However, one of the customs of the young people was name drawing. On the eve of the festival of Lupercalia the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl's name from the jar and would then be partners for the duration of the festival with the girl whom he chose. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and often, they would fall in love and would later marry.

Under the rule of Emperor Claudius II Rome was involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns. Claudius the Cruel was having a difficult time getting soldiers to join his military leagues. He believed that the reason was that roman men did not want to leave their loves or families. As a result, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements in Rome. The good Saint Valentine was a priest at Rome in the days of Claudius II. He and Saint Marius aided the Christian martyrs and secretly married couples, and for this kind deed Saint Valentine was apprehended and dragged before the Prefect of Rome, who condemned him to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. He suffered martyrdom on the 14th day of February, about the year 270. At that time it was the custom in Rome, a very ancient custom, indeed, to celebrate in the month of February the Lupercalia, feasts in honour of a heathen god. On these occasions, amidst a variety of pagan ceremonies, the names of young women were placed in a box, from which they were drawn by the men as chance directed.

The pastors of the early Christian Church in Rome endeavoured to do away with the pagan element in these feasts by substituting the names of saints for those of maidens. And as the Lupercalia began about the middle of February, the pastors appear to have chosen Saint Valentine's Day for the celebration of this new feaSt. So it seems that the custom of young men choosing maidens for valentines, or saints as patrons for the coming year, arose in this way.

St. Valentine's Story

Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings. Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn't going to support that law!
Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies -- secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.
One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.
I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, "Love from your Valentine."
I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine's Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh -- because they know that love can't be beaten!

Valentine Traditions

2011-02-13T12:28:00.000-06:00

Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home. One verse they sang was:
Good morning to you, valentine;
Curl your locks as I do mine ---
Two before and three behind.
Good morning to you, valentine.
In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.
In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.
Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.

No Sins for A Man to Feel Bad

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp No Sins for A Man to Feel Wronged
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp It is said that nice people are bullied and docile horses are ridden, I had got a deep experience of how the saying happening to me. As a man, I should be a husband of indomitable spirit, instead, I had to swallow an insult in my family of mother-in-law. At first, I intended to keep my temper and patience to protect a complete family for my wife, but there always lies a knife penetrating in my heart when I chose to stoop, alas!
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Sometimes, I couldn’t help thinking if my weak character gave them space to be presumptuous, it should not be so worse than now if I had taken unyielding measures.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Well, my story sounds very ashamed, and you will feel ashamed to when it was to be related; but it will drive me mad if I kept depressive pains in heart, I wanna give you a hint to warn you not be trapped in the same trouble.
I am a man of limited educational background; youngster as I was, I was off my hometown to earn money by doing works as welder, fitment worker, pipeliner etc…….but one of most successful jobs in my careers was insurance salesman, bringing me much money that time, and one year later, I worked in a state-owned enterprise via a friend’s introduce, that is the place where I met my wife now, XiaoRui. She is introverted, very kind and considerable. We had been dating for one year and a half, and got along very well.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp XiaoRui is a local girl whose family was near the work place and was better off than me. And I often went to her home, helping her family to do rough work like a laborer, thus I was contented by her mother. The bilateral families eventually sat down together to settle engagement of us; at the end of 2005, XiaoRui and I got the marriage certificate.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The room of XiaoRui was spacious, we didn’t buy another new house after married, my mother-in-law picked up a living room for us, and new furniture was added too. I am easily content, at the meantime, I also felt somewhat compunctious to get a wife without payment. To repay the kindness of parents-in-law, I was obligated to work with all my might. I volunteered to wash, cook, sweep etc. as soon as I came off my work. And all seems so peaceful till the little sister of XiaoRui arrived.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp XiaoRui has a younger sister who studied in a college in another city, her sister only came to the family in Spring Festival; little did they meet in a whole year, and this time, her sister graduated from school, she had to face the problem finding a job, and thus the trouble appeared.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp The lifetime was tortuous, hardly can a couple get along well for ever, it is normal for a couple fell into same little dispute. The situation became more complex when the little sister came back. Generally speaking, she gave me a pleasant impression initially, knowing that she was sharp mouthed but tender hearted, a person of frankness. What exceeded my imagination is the sharpness of mouth.
The sister brought her boyfriend to my home, and I wanna establish my “perfect personality” before them, I rushed purposefully here and there for helping them to find a job, but she didn’t in the least appreciate my eagerness to help. This was what she said to me: “ I never saw a big man live in a family of his mother-in-law, you loser!” I felt uncomfortably , didn’t wanna stoop to the same level as her. And then, she gave me another words: “ you loser were better to divorce earlier if you couldn’t sustain my family.”
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Half year after married, Xiaorui was pregnant. I bought an auto-washer to lest my wife was too tired of household works. Her sister, however, was lazy and reluctant to wash by herself, she threw her and her bf’s clothes including her underwear into the washer, and did nothing about her duty clothes of became smelly, and I took them all out of the washer, but this induced her sister’s accusation, she quarreled with me, saying that I was of Greek gift to peep at her underwear.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp My mother-in-law always fueled in the fire, saying to that I was a losser, she ordered sister to turn off the washer, letting me wash by hands. I really wanted a fight with her sister, considering that Xiaorui was still pregnant, I chose to keep silent. This silence, undoubtedly, inflated their arrogance.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp I and Xiaorui eventually planned to rent a house outside after I got the news that my father was severe ill, and needed to be carefully look after. Because my father never went to my mother-in-law’s family, he even didn’t know which the directions were open to.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp However, the plan of renting a house was opposed severely by them. My mother-in-law didn’t agree for Xiaorui is to deliver a baby soon, and I need work outside, the absence of personal care wasn’t allowed. I had to tell her the truth that I must receive my father here, but what mother-in-law said was so vacious:” what shall we do if your father was dead of illness here?” her words were really offensive, I had to retort that she was lack of humanity, however, the quarrel was ended in compromise on my side.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Dream of taking care of my father didn’t come true, I was of great guilty conscience, I asked for time off to look after my father as the only atonement. The fact was that Xiaorui actually gave birth to my daughter during the days when I was outside.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp Early in the morning, my mother-in-law told me the birth of my daughter via cellphone, I was glad and hurried to the hospital, well I couldn’t find the trace of Xiaorui anywhere, I asked the doctor who was filled with righteous indignation. The doctor told me Xiaorui demanded being discharged from hospital after delivering and he never saw those kind of parents. I was so angry, Xiaorui was their natural daughter, and the family did never poor as pauper, how could that be they were careless of their daughter’s life to save money?
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp I went home hurriedly, and thanks to God, peace was with my wife and my baby, which indeed consoled me a lot. My father-in-law was displeased by the birth of my daughter for he stuck to want a son. He suggested that the daughter must be adopted by neighbors. It was unimaginable that my father-in-law would speak out those cold words to the family. So I fought for my right to bring up my daughter, and insisted that I and Xiaorui should leave these unhappy family at once; they threatened that they cut off all the contact with us and never meet again in the future if we chose to leave home. Xiaorui shed tears with deep affliction, and I even couldn’t help crying with great suffer make my heart bleed. Alas, when would these embarrassments be put in end?

8 ways to get your marriage out of a rut

2011-01-11T15:14:00.000-06:00

A stalled marriage is not the beginning of the end- it's a reality. Kids, bills and demanding jobs can stagnate the best of marriages. That said, a marriage stuck in a rut can not be ignored. If your car got stuck in the mud, or your kid got stuck in a well (heaven forbid), you'd call emergency vehicles. A stuck marriage needs the same. Maybe you just need to drop your marriage into 4-wheel drive to get unstuck, maybe you need the jaws of life.

Here are a few ideas to get your marriage out of the muck:
1. Mini vacations
The beauty of a mini-vacation is it doesn't have to be long, expensive or elaborate to recharge your marriage. Spring for a nice hotel room in your home town. Take the afternoon off together while the kids are in school. The next time you visit your mother, leave the kids with her for the weekend. The idea is to reconnect, which doesn't take long when you remove the demands of daily life. Because you don't have to save for a year or take a lot of time off work, you can take mini-vacations two, three, four times a month!
2. Meet for a drink
We've all heard how important date nights are. That's because it is so easy to lose one another in our roles; mother, father, bread-winner, caregiver. We forget that we're also husband and wife. Date nights allow you to reconnect as adults. Try to discuss big-people stuff, like the news, the economy, religion, politics, etc. If you meet somewhere after work, pretend to be strangers. This can be a fun way to get to know each other all over again.
3. Quiet time
Find a corner of the house and turn it into a place for just you and your mate. When the guest room or an unfinished basement becomes a sanctuary devoid of toys and noise, couples have a place to catch up uninterrupted. Staying in touch is the best way to avoid ruts in the first place.
4. The inappropriate text message
It's hard to be saucy with little ears and co-workers around every corner. That's where text messaging comes in. It's sort of this generation's love note, minus the paper trail. Text your husband and let him know what you wish he was doing right now, or what you intend to do later. Any time you are thinking about each other instead of work or the kids is an opportunity to reconnect.
5. Learn something new together
Find something that suits both of you and go for it. Take dance lessons, cooking classes or go white-water rafting. My husband encouraged me to take up golf. I knew he would play it with or without me, so I gave it a try. I'm pretty awful, but it's fun. I feel blessed that after 20 years of marriage we found something we both love to do. We spend a lot of time on the course together, which we enjoy as much as the game itself.
6. Play cards
When the kids go to bed, turn off the TV and play cribbage or gin rummy together. Remember that the idea isn't to win, the idea is to hang out with one another minus distractions. Place interesting bets, or establish creative rewards for the winner. If being competitive is a problem for one of you, then come up with interesting payouts for the loser. The couple that plays together takes a roll in the hay together.
7. Plan your future
Often we find ourselves in ruts because of a particularly busy time at work or due to a demanding phase the kids are going through. What do you want to do when this stressful part of your life is behind you? Do you want to go on vacation? Do you want a different job? If work stress is caused by overtime, how do you want to spend the extra money? Discussing your future is a reminder that both of you are in the trenches together and you intend to emerge from the battle together.
8. Exercise
Many couples become unhappy with the way they look and feel. Exercise releases endorphins, relieves stress and gets your bod ready for the beach. The buddy system will motivate you to stick with it. If you don't have the resources to work out together before or after work, try walking together at the end of the day or buy a treadmill for the basement. You'll both be feeling sassy in no time, which might lead to more creative forms of exercise…
Remember: If you’ve been married for more than 10 minutes, your marriage will get stuck in a rut. Period. It doesn’t mean your marriage is a failure or that it’s time to trade each other out. Life, stress, work, family and kids will all interfere with the happiest, most in-love couples. Try viewing the inevitable rut as an opportunity to revitalize. Your marriage, unlike your car, doesn’t need a tow-truck to get unstuck. It just needs a little nudge in the right direction.

22. A Ransom Note

Champagne, games, and roses are nice but can get very boring after a while. Instead, get creative and do something off the wall. My girlfriend has this stuffed animal that she adores and keeps on her bed. So I decided to kidnap the stuffed animal making a ransom note from cutting letters out of the news paper.In the letter it said " give me a McDonalds cheeseburger and a six pack of beer or your stuffed pig is pork." Then I took a picture of it on a plate with an apple by it and a fork and knife by the edge of the plate. I then placed the ransom letter and picture on her door. Of course when she saw it she new it was me but we had a fun time with it. She would make playful and sarcastic comments and of course I played back. Needless to say I gave the stuffed animal back making myself look like the hero and she rewarded me with a nite of love. However, your mate must have a good sense of hummor or you might spend the nite on the couch.

25. Butterflies

I was getting ready to go out with an old girlfriend I had not seen in five years. I was waiting for her to show up at my apartment and was very nervous. When she arrived I couldn't believe how beautiful she was, more than I had remembered. She looked wonderful. Anyway we had a spectacular evening of dinner and dancing. After she left that evening I couldn't stop thinking about her so I decided send her a letter the following week. The letter had small stickers of butterflies I had placed all over it with a message that read "These are the butterflies you gave me last Friday when I heard you walking up the steps to my apartment. I thought you might like them back." She absolutely loved it!!

26. An Overlooked I Love You

Once, when my boyfriend and I were having a rough time on a special day, I cut out nine small paper hearts, wrote one letter of "I LOVE YOU!" on each, and colored them pink and red. I put the hearts in an envelope with a sheet of paper. On the paper I had made outlines of the hearts (from when I colored them) with nine overlooked reasons why I love him, one in each.

27. Message In A Bottle

For our one year anniversary, I wanted to do something special for my boyfriend, but I wasn't sure what to do. Then, while shopping at a craft store, I came upon a beautiful, blue bottle with a cork. Inspired by the recent movie, "Message in a Bottle", I wrote my boyfriend a three page letter reviewing the past year, and expressing my everlasting love for him. Then I tied the letter with a ribbon, put it in the bottle, put the cork in tightly, and then dated it. When I give it to him, he won't be allowed to open it...he will have to wait until the following year. A year later, as he opens the bottle from the previous year, he will be presented with another message in a bottle. Hopefully, we will be together long enough so that he will eventually have many, many bottles!! :)

18. A Simple Letter of Love

A simple letter to show them how you feel usually makes them smile. My boyfriend and I are in high school and we were kind of fighting. Well, one day I went all day without seeing him at all. When school got out he was waiting for me by the doors and he handed me a letter and told me to open it. I opened it and all the way down the paper it said, "I love you." Then at the very bottom it said, "Hope this makes up for the times when I didn't say I love you or it didn't seem like I did. I'll always love you a million times more than what you think." I looked up and he kissed me right in front of his friends and sister. It was so sweet! See what a simple letter can do to make things better?

Find out his favorite colors and make him a blanket preferably fleece and on one side using felt letters write something like "cover you in kisses" or "I Love you" or "Wrapping you in my love" or something like that. I'm giving it to my BF for christmas I hope it goes well!

20. Rescue Me!

I did this for my boyfriend and I's 1st anniversary, He loved it. OK, I got a big glass bottle with a cork on top. You glue sand on the out side, make sure that it looks like the bottle has been laying on the sand for a very long time. and glue shells,sea weed etc. Then some how get some one to draw you. (make sure you like) Then write a nice letter about how you two got together and how you feel now. Then roll the papers up and place then in the bottle. Oh an extra tip.. drop some perfume on the cork. Enjoy!

21. A Letter To Remember

Before your wedding write a letter to your husband to be and have them write one to you. Write about anything. But, focus on your relationship with that person. Then put both letters in a safe deposit box. On your 25th anniversary exchange letters that you wrote to each other.

8. Floating love letter
Save the next empty wine bottle, the next time you surprise your partner with that bubble bath, write a love letter and stick it in the bottle, cork it and float it in the bath water : )

9. Love Notes
I love leaving little love notes around the house, but you want to make sure that you leave them where your love one will find them. Two ways this can be done.
(1) buy magnetic letters (bookstores sell) and place them on the refig., they are bound to go there sooner or later.
(2) use a soap bar and write your romantic message on the bathroom mirror. It won't do damage to mirror and is easy to get off with a little water.

10. Say it in a BIG way!
The other day I made a large envelope and a large note that said, "I love you in the biggest way!" I even went out on the Internet to download pictures of stamps and blew them up in size. Then I had the apartments where she lives call her to the office to pick up an "important" letter...

11. Book of Love
This is something I did for my boyfriend, and he loved it! I thought of My ten favorite things about him, then wrote a letter about each one and how much it meant to me. I put all the letters (after I'd spent tons of time perfecting and decorating them) together into a little book, and give it to him for our anniversary. Big success!!

12. Letter a day...
If your loved one is going away for vacation or a short trip, take a pink colored notepad and for each day that he's gone write a separate love letter, so that he can read one everyday and be close to you. (I tried it-- and it worked better than I thought!)

13. Love Letter Ideas
I like to send my boyfriend a letter (snail mail) every week. However, I want every letter to be as new and exciting as for him as the first, so I try to be creative. Some ideas:
- send a letter in a bottle (be extra careful with the packaging so it won't break)
-write a letter on the back of a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle, then take it apart and let them put it together
-instead of sending a written letter, send a video cassette of yourself telling everything you want your special person to know.

14. Love Letter Ideas
I've found that one way to easily make an ordinary letter or package more special for somebody, is to decorate the package or envelope that you're sending. When one of my loves sent me a teddy bear, she lined the inside of the box with gift wrapping paper, and I still cherish that box to this day. If you've got a letter you wanna decorate, and you're not a good artist, then get some stickers. Too many of us forget about stickers after about grade school, but you can attach a cute or lovable sticker to anything at all, and whatever it touches will become special. A lot of restaurants and stores will have sticker dispensers that have those shiny, metallic stickers, they are superb. But don't just get the envelope, hit the letter itself, and be sure to perfume those pages. Perfumed pages are incredibly sensual. A good way to accomplish this is to put perfume on your wrist before you start writing. As your wrist moves across the paper, it'll be scented. Yet another thing you can do to make a letter more romantic is to write something on the flap, so the first thing your love sees when they open the envelope is an, "I love you" or something else. Before they even begin reading, they'll already be smitten with love.

1. Audio Love Letter
My boyfriend and I are about to be separated again for school. What I did to help us cope with the distance (and the long drives) was find a lot of songs that either expressed my feelings for him, or had special meaning for us (like songs we had laughed about or did karaoke together, etc.). I wrote a "letter" on the CD with all the titles snuck in like "soon I'll be CALLING YOU again to tell you I love you." I made another copy of the CD for myself, and he's wrote a letter on it for me, too. As soon as he saw it he started to choke up!! It was such a great moment and just listening to it makes me feel close to him. I hope it works for you, too!

2. Message In A Bottle
When you're in a long distance relationship, all you can rely on is letters, cards, emails, and telephone calls. But my boyfriend came up with a creative way to send me a letter. I got a package from him one day and I found a bottle with a letter inside! It was really cute and melted my heart! Who isn't charmed by received a message in a bottle!

3. Dated...
This is not so much an idea, but something that I did for my love. I never believed in love at first sight until I met Micheal. It wasn't quite love at first sight, but following our first date, there were feelings inside me that went far beyond expression. I didn't want to say something that I may regret later, or more likely, something that would scare him away, but I had to let it out or I would simply explode. I sat down and wrote him a letter telling him of my feelings for him. I told him that I thought I was falling in love with him and that I thought he was absolutely wonderful. I put it in an envelope and mailed it to my own home, but with his name on the envelope. It was only a couple weeks later when he expressed that he felt the same feelings about me, and so I pulled the letter out of my drawer and handed it to him. Noticing the post-marked date, he read the letter with complete astonishment, and was totally charmed to know that I had fallen in love with him on our very first date.

4. Secret Admirer
I find that the most romantic gestures take a little time to do. Write a glorious infatuation letter, even better type it to conceal your handwriting. Try to make sure there are no tips to give you away, but put hints in it that would make her think it might be somebody else she knows. Use things you might know about her job, or places she might go, but things other people can also know. You might even scare her by telling her you followed her home. Sign it Your Secret Admirer, and send it to her by mail. Send flowers anonymously. Candy, Poetry, whatever you can think of. I set this up for a month, and when I let on who her secret admirer was, I never felt so gratified. It made her feel good that she thought she was still desirable, and when she found out it was me it made it all the better.

5. A letter hunt
My boyfriend told me that he would leave me a love note on my computer for when I got home. Well, he did just that and more. He sent me running around the house finding these little "clues" to where the real love letter was. After running up and down the stairs, finding clues in the cookie jar, ice cream container, under my pillow, in the bathroom, on the tv, and so on-he led me to the wine cellar in the basement where there sat a dozen roses with yet another "clue" as to where my love letter was. He had taped it to the back of the teddy bear he gave me for x-mas. It was the sweetest thing in the world even though I felt silly running through the house like I did.

6. A Single Rose Love Letter
Who says that flowers are only for girls? Guys love them too. I bought a beautiful rose for my boyfriend and plucked almost all of the petals off of it. Attached to each petal, I wrote one sentence on a small piece of paper (rolled up) telling him how much he means to me. I placed the petals face up so he couldn't see the messages. When he opened the box, he saw the left over plucked rose, a small note explaining what's behind each petal, and the petals underneath. I can honestly say that the reciever will cherish that gift forever. :o) My boyfriend did, and right after he confessed his love for me. To this day, he still takes out the dried rose petals to read each note that explains how much I admire and love him.
Submitted by Cathy

7. Say it with their name
Send your partner roses according to how many letters there name has. For example: "manny". You would buy 5 red roses and with each rose you would write a message starting with the first letter of their name. For example M: My love. You will never imagine how much I love you. Then for the second rose you would write: All that I ever have wanted is you and only you. then you would finish until you get to the letter Y. Before writing the note you must underline the first letter of every message. It will spell out his /her name. Then leave it where he/she will see it or just have it sent.

Love Across Distance To: Amy ~ From: Eric

2011-01-02T14:36:00.001-06:00

Dear Amy,
What a wonderful beginning to a new year! It began late in the previous year --

me finding you, chatting online, confessing my love,

and then it happens all over again. The feelings that

I’ve felt for you all along begin to resurface. Only this time, I am free to

act on them without fear of upsetting anyone.

Thank you, Amy. What more can a man say to the woman who opened her heart to him,

allowing him to feel the warmth of her love across the great distance that separates them?

You truly have no idea what I feel for you.

I try to put this feeling into words, but fail miserably. This feeling of being both

scared and at peace, of having both butterflies and a sense of calm,

is a feeling that I have only dreamed about. As the days continue to pass,

my love for you continues to grow. I never thought I had the capacity

to love anybody as much as I love you right now. Yet, my love for you

continues to mature, growing beyond the realm of my heart. It seems

that you have become the fiber of my soul, the very reason for my existence.

I have no other words to describe the way you make me feel.

No words, no actions could even come close. I believe that Ronald Regan

said it best to Nancy in a letter, telling her only that, "I more than love you".

Their love was a strong love, surviving everything, even death.

I believe that even after his passing, Nancy felt Ronald's love for her raining

down upon her. That is why she has always seemed at peace after the death

of such a truly loving husband. That is the love that I feel for you.

Forever Yours,

Eric

Dear Willie,

I know there's an ocean between us,

and I wish that it weren't true,

for every day when I arise,

I yearn to be with you.

Though a lot of distance lies between us,

you'll always be in my mind and my heart,

And every night beneath the stars,

I pray for the day we'll never be part.

Every day I will be thinking about you.
When my eyes are closed, when I

sing and dance to a love song, when

I'm checking my email, I will be thinking

about you. When I go to sleep in the

loneliness of my room and give in to

wonderful dreams I will definitely

be thinking about you.

I know someday we will meet and spend
our lives with each other.

I have waited for someone like you,

and now that I have found you I will never

let you go. I love you so much, Willie!!

Love Always,

Mags

She's very jealous because she said the same thing in the past.
Him: "She loves me truly."
She wishes to sit up and scream at him "Don't I?"
Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do."

She's thinking, but the rage won't subside.
Him: "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?"
Her: "...!"
He brings the photo before her eyes. She's in a total rage, hits his hand away and leaves a burning slap on his face.
He sighs. She cries.
He puts the photo back to his pocket. She pulls her hand back under the blanket.
He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns on the light, and sits up. He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets treating him the way she treated him.
She cried again, and thought about a lot of things. She wants to wake him up. She wants to have a intimate talk with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore. She stares at his chest. She wants to see how the girl looks.
She slips the photo out. She wanted to cry and she wanted to laugh.
It's a nicely taken photo. A photo he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek.
He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep.
"You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly."

Second day, she conducted a raid and removed everything from his pockets and warned, "Seek any external help, and you bear the consequences."
He's nervous now. That night, on the bed, he begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees.
Third day, night. On the bed. He's lying on the bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side.
Him: "We need to talk."
Her: "Unless it's about the wedding, forget it."
Him: "It's something very important."
She remains silent.
Him:"Let's get a divorce."
She did not believe her ears.
Him: "I got to know a girl."
She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through yesterday. How careless.
Him: "She's a nice girl."
Her tears fell.
Him: "She has a good personality too."
She's heartbroken because he puts a photo of some other girl close to his heart.
Him: "She says that she'll support me fully in my pursue for literature after we got married."

They have been married for two years. He loves literature and often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever reads them. He is also into photography and he handles their wedding photos. He loves her very much. Likewise with her. She has a quick temper and always bullies him. He is a gentleman and always gives in to her.

Today, she's being willful again.
Her: "Why can't you be the photographer for my friend's wedding? She promised she'd pay."
Him: "I don't have time that day."
Her: "Humph!"
Him: "Huh?"
Her: "Don't have time? Write less of those novels, and you will have all the time you need."
Him: "I... someone will definitely recognize my work some day."
Her: "Humph! I don't care, you'll have to do it for her!"
Him: "No."
Her: "Just this once?"
Him: "No."
Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..."
First day, she "withheld" the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, hi-fi... Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence".
Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets.

Global Love Day - May 1st

2010-12-17T10:42:00.000-06:00

The Day

It is our vision to unite one and all in a celebration of love and compassion. We honor each May 1st as a symbolic day of unconditional love and call upon all people and all nations to gather together in the wisdom of peace and love.
Global Love Day is the universal recognition of our innate oneness through love. When we come from this limitless love we naturally and easily embrace ourselves and our fellow humanity. Opening our heart, we allow unconditional love to be our guide and compassion to be our gift to life.

We invite you to celebrate with us by consciously focusing on love and what it means to you throughout this day. We hope that by practicing love in all areas of your life, you will find it easy to love unconditionally all year long.

Our main theme explains it best...

"Love Begins With Me"

What I Can Do

Simply be love. Let the love within your heart be the focus of your awareness throughout the day. Allow yourself to be accepting, forgiving, peaceful, joyful and in harmony with yourself and all life around you. Just be!
Allowing unconditional love to be your primary intention is the main idea, and if you find yourself also wanting to actually "do" something loving or share the day with others, we have provided several categories to help give you ideas of how you may approach the day. See the links to the left or above. Each page will present suggestions that you can begin with. We encourage you to come up with your own inspired, creative ideas and expressions.

Around the World

Catching on around the world, we launched this program in December 2003 for our first celebration on May 1, 2004 and already we have connected with people in over 139 countries. We hear daily from so many of you supporting our efforts for this event. You have shown us that this simple idea is one whose time has come. Plans for our eighth celebration of humanity are underway for May 1, 2011!

The Initial Vision

(an open letter from our Founder in 2004) The Love Foundation is delighted to announce the first annual GLOBAL LOVE DAY on May 1, 2004 with this year's theme of Love Begins With Me. Join people from around the world as we acknowledge, celebrate and share the love we have within. This is a special day of recalling that love is the link that binds us all. It is also the awesome power that heals and transforms everything it contacts.
Each of us is a potent force of love when we allow this energy to express itself. There is nothing we have to ultimately do, rather we need only allow ourselves to feel and be love. It is that simple. Global Love Day is merely our way of saying let's remember love is ours to be and to share every moment of our lives.
We understand this day is a symbol of what we can do every day of the year. Our intent is to join together in a conscious recognition that love is always present. For so many, love is often hidden under layers of hurt, trauma, drama, pain and suffering. Emotional memories, unspoken doubt, fear, resentment and a multitude of old beliefs often keep us from realizing these thoughts and feelings have no real power over us. We give them power by living in the past and being afraid of the future. We ignore the love that is present every moment while embracing limitation. It is time to change that. It is time to release ourselves from our own self created bondage.
You and I have the opportunity to make a difference. Together we can embrace our unlimited self, the part of us that knows love and expresses it naturally and simply. It is when we accept ourselves just for who we are that we transform the moment into peace, security, joy and love. This process begins with releasing our limiting beliefs, past mistakes, lack of self worth, pride and ego through the conscious act of forgiveness. It is up to us as individuals to undertake this journey. We begin the transformation when we turn within and accept our self. We change the world when we change our perspective.
As we come to know who we are and why we act and react the way we do, we start to see ourselves in the faces of humanity. The reflection of hurt is our hurt, their pain is our pain, another's anger is our anger. It is also seen in the face of nature. Her destruction is our destruction. These seemingly random expressions are our past thoughts seeking manifestation. It is our constant reminder that love is the answer. We build a new reality in this current moment when we let go. When we choose love over fear, kindness over hate, integration over separation, and peace over war, we bring a new reflection to humanity... our loving selves.
So, please accept our invitation to love. Join us hand-in-hand as we share our love on this planet once again.

Love, light, and peace,
Harold W. Becker
Founder/President

Love Quotes

2010-12-16T08:35:00.000-06:00

You never realize how much

you love someone until they're gone.

Love? It's kind of complicated,
but I'll tell you this...
the second you're willing
to make yourself miserable
to make someone else happy,
that's love right there

The first time I saw you,
I knew it was true,
I'd love you forever and that’s what I'll do.

You don't know what you do to me;
you don't have a clue.
You have no idea what it’s like to be me,
looking at you.

Loving you is what I've learned so easily.
Trying to forget you is the last thing
I could possibly learn
because I'm deeply in love with you.

Love is like quicksand:
The deeper you fall in it
the harder it is to get out

One advantage of marriage,
it seems to me,
is that when you fall out of love with him,
or he falls out of love with you,
it keeps you together
until you maybe fall in again.

Love is like water;
We can fall in it.
We can drown in it.
And we can't live without it.

Falling in love doesn't happen just once.
Everytime you hear their voice
after not hearing it for a week;
everytime you see that smile brighen the room;
everytime they make you laugh
when you don't even want to smile;
every kiss hello and see-you-later hug.

Thats when you fall in love;
Not once, but everyday.

She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
The girl was shocked when she saw that her
boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying.
"Just take care of my eyes dear."

This is how human brain changes when the status changed.

Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive
and still around.

Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it and fulfill it.

The Healing Poison

A long time ago, a girl named Li-Li got married and went to live with her husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't get along with her mother-in-law at all. Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly. Days passed days, and weeks passed weeks. Li-Li and her other-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish.
All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing the poor husband great distress. Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it.
Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. She told him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could solve the problem once and for all. Mr. Huang thought for a while, and finally said, Li-Li, I will help you solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you. Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do."
Mr. Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a package of herbs. He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious. Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up poison in her body. Every other day prepare some pork or chicken and put a little of these herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you when she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don't argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."
Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her plot of murdering her mother-in-law. Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her mother-in-law and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed, the whole household had changed. Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument in six months with her mother-in-law, who now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with. The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li has also changed, and she began to love Li-Li like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now treating each other like a real mother and daughter. Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening.
One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again. She said, "Dear Mr Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my mother-in-law! She has changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."
Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitamins to improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her."

LOVE STORY

Where do i begin
To tell the story
Of how grateful love can be
The sweet love story
That is older than the sea
That sings the truth about the love she brings to me
Where do i start
With the first hello
She gave the meaning

To this empty world of mine
That never did
Another love another time
She came into my life
And made a living fine
She fills my heart
She fills my heart
With very special things
With angel songs
With wild imaginings
She fills my soul
With soo much love
That anywhere i go
Im never lonely
With her along who could b lonely
I reach for her hand
Its always there
How long does it last
Can love be measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she;ll b there...
How long does it last
Can love b measured by the hours in a day
I have no answers no
But this much i can say
I know ill need her till this love song burn away
And she'll be there...

The reason I'm called tree is because I'm good at painting trees. Overtime I start to use a tree on the right hand corner as a trademark for all my watercolors painting. I have dated 5 gals when I was in Pre-U. There's one gal who I love a lot but never dare go after her. She doesn't have a pretty face, doesn't have a good figure, doesn't have outstanding charm. She is just a very ordinary gal.
I like her. I really like her. Like her innocent, like her frankness. Like her cuteness, like her intelligence and her fragility. Reason for not going after her is because I felt somebody so ordinary like her is not a good match for me. I'm also afraid that after we are together all the good feelings will vanish. I'm also afraid other's gossips will hurt her. I felt that if she's my gal, she will be mine ultimately & I don't have to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompany me for 3 years. She watch me chase after gals, and I have make her heart cry for 3 years.
She wants to be a good actress and I'm a very demanding director. When I kissed my 2nd girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smile & say "Go on!" before running off. The next day, her eyes was swollen like a walnut. I purposely didn't want to think about what causes her to cry but laugh at her the whole day. When everybody go back home, she was alone crying in the classroom. She didn't know that I returned from soccer training to get something. I watch her cry for an hour or so.
My 4th girlfriend didn't like her. There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she's not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided with my girlfriend. I shouted at her and her eyes was filled shocked. I didn't care about her feelings and walked off with my girlfriend. The next day, she still laugh & joke with me like nothing has ever happened. I know that she's very hurt but she didn't know that my heart ache is as bad as hers.
When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. After going out for a day, I told her that I have something to tell her. She told me that coincidentally, she has something to tell me too. I told her about my break up and she told me about her getting together. I know whose the guy. He has been going after her for quite a while. A very cute guy full of energy, lively and interesting. His pursuit for her has been the talk of the school.
I can't show her my heart ache but could only smile & congratulate her. When I reach home, the heart ache is so strong that I can't stand it. It's like a heavy weighted stone on my chest. I couldn't breath. Wanted to shout but can't. Tears rolled down & I broke down & cry. How many times have I seen her cry for the man that doesn't acknowledge her presence too.
During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It was send 10 days ago when I broke down and cry. I haven't read it since then. It says "Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay"
