Thursday 13 - Sweet Romance Every Day

Lasting romance isn't constant grand gestures proclaiming love, 

it's the little every day things that keep love in the air.

Sometimes all you need is a sweet gesture to make your day. It doesn't matter if you're just starting your relationship or you've been in it for a the long haul already, the little every day things remind you that there is a lot of love around you. 

Here's a list of a few suggestions of sweet gestures to bring romance into your every day life.

1. Hold hands in the car.

2. Write a little love note and hide it in a place you're honey will find it.

3. Climb onto his lap when watching TV.

4. Prepare a meal together.

5. Out of the blue, look into your honey's eyes and say, "I love you."

6. Spend time with your honey participating in their favorite hobby.

7. Whisper something loving or naughty in their ear in the middle of the day.

8. Send a text to your honey telling something you like about about him/her.

9. Stop on the way home from work and pick up your honey's favorite dessert.

10. Make morning coffee and set out a treat for your honey some morning.

11. Tap a post-it note on the bathroom mirror with a loving message.

12. Watch a movie together, share popcorn and a blanket.

13. Give each other a massage.

Sweet whispers.

It's all in the sweet romantic gestures.

Love isn't in expensive gifts and extravagant trips, it's in the details. 

Love is in giggles, whispers, gentle touches, sharing time, caring for each other 

and simply bringing a smile to each other's faces.

Touch Me, Babe

Listening to an old tune from The Doors while in a Covid lock-down inspired this post.

The media has featured how people are suffering depression and isolation because of not being able to be social. This lack of in-person communication and lack of personal touch plays havoc with the psyche.

Sure, sexual touches help with physical intimacy and keeps a relationship fresh and exciting. Touch between lovers, is a subtle reminder of the connection. But non-sexual touch is important too. A touch is reassuring and uplifting. It feels like some else understands us, relates with us and connects to us. A simple touch is a sign of trust, and the comfort reduces anxiety.

A touch makes you feel more loved, safe, and happy. The humblest movement leads to a happier, healthier you! Next time you touch someone or are touched, take note of how you feel.

Today's exercise:

Hold a hand

Give a hug

Tickle someone

Play footsie

Yeah! Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, babe

The Doors - Touch Me

With today's Covid-19 restrictions on wearing masks, washing hands, 6' apart...we need to make an effort to do the little things that matter. Subtle touches to a hand or shoulder can make a huge  difference in someone's life. Higher rates of people are suffering from depression. Reach out and touch another.
