Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Now, if I had a special someone to celebrate it with (I don’t…volunteers anyone?), I’d know what I want to do for her on Valentine’s. I’ve always believed that the greatest gift you can give someone isn’t something from a paper bag, it’s something from the heart. Something that really touches someone at the core of who they are, not just on a material level (which is nice too…expensive gifts for me, anyone?).
So, how would I do that?
At the risk of repeating myself from the Give Someone a Magical Christmas post, I would write down and complete this sentence, on a nice card or piece of paper:
Who you are makes a difference to me because…
and list out all the many ways this special person makes a difference in my life.
How does your special someone make a difference in your life? You letting them know exactly just how special they are to the special person in their life (ie YOU) will touch them in ways they’ll never expect (and maybe lead to you being touched in ways you never expect ;D ).

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!
After reading this blog, I can’t help but to put it down in words. The greatest gift one can give or receive from their loved ones would be the gift of communication. To me, that is very important especially to my family and I. It is the greatest gift of all. Agree? Being able to spend quality time is something that I am grateful for. When my love ones leave this world, what I want to say is that “I have had a great time with him/her” rather than I should have…..
So, instead of thinking of what to give or buy for your loved ones, why not take this opportunity to give something more meaningful?
As what Alvin suggested, do take sometime to write down, who you are make a difference to me….
Once again, Happy Valentine’s Day!
