- Get a mani or pedi or buy yourself a new polish color, or new lipstick/gloss.
- Try a new updo for the day.
- Join a gym or a class and start that journey
- Knock out the one nagging project you've been avoiding and relish in the doneness.
- Turn up your favorite worship music and soak yourself in His Love, maybe even dance!
- Dance, watch a movie, dust off your hobby
- Play games with the kids and set aside the work and phone for the night, the gift is love and laughter
- Call someone you love/adore and say Hi
- Light candles in every room (Dollar Tree sells LED 2 packs for $1.00 or actual candles for $1/each)
- Take a walk around a nearby lake at sunset
- Camp in your backyard or nearby campground
- Make your favorite meal and picnic it
- For the MRS: Do something that makes your spouse feel adored and precious (trade foot rubs, help cook and clean dinner, serve breakfast in bed even if it's Cheerios, exchange cards, buy their favorite flower/card/food/candy/book. Don't make it about "connecting physically." Save your Anniversary for that tradition of Get To Do. Bring back the romance of being Loved just as you are, for who you are from the heart. Whatever happens after that, well, that's up to you. Candles, strawberries, music, jello, whip cream, sunsets, new colognes and apparel, couple's massages (have to be booked in advance), weekend or night away, someone else to keep your kids so you can stay home, we even went to the gym when the kids were younger and enjoyed the steam room in the locker rooms and met up at the hot tub and relaxed by the pool the remainder of the time we had and every one was happy! Best 2 hours!!
- Find what makes you feel loved (out of God's love for you) and delight yourself in it to express Love back to Him, your first True Love.
- For the things we don't say, please brush your teeth, QTip your ears and file your nails
- Speak Truths about God's Love for you! Sometimes that's the hardest gift to give ourselves, permission to accept the truths of His love for us in all our mess and grief.
