What I learned on Tuesday

Crazy in love thats what you get! lol

So let me start off by saying that the most adorable thing ever happened at work today. There is a lady who is 86 at my job and she has a husband who needs a lot of care and she does everything she can, including working for minimum wage at a retail store, for him to make sure he is okay. This 90 year old man got up and rolled himself down to the store and brought her some flowers. Now that may not seem adorable to you, but it was the most adorable thing ever to see. She was on cloud nine because he had not done anything like this in 8 years for her. And after he left the first thing she did was ask fir a break so that she could call him and make sure he made it home safe. 52 years.....one more time FIFTY TWO! years of being married and they care for each other with such passion and love. Sadly I think that is what is wrong with how relationships have turned into the next ADD thing our society does. We treat relationships now as if they are a shinny new car that you can just trade in the next time a brand new model comes out or if you need to be more "fuel efficient."

Couldn't help myself

I don't necessarily hate Valentine's day but I will say that I am not a fan of it. When there is a holiday that causes depression for an entire week across a country as vast as the United States of....ummmm what is this big continents name again? Eh, whatever. I still think it should be a day where men get gifts instead of buying gifts for women ( which we are required by social law to do ALL of the time!). Show your man how much you care with a set of tools, made of chocolate of course, or just do something he likes on the 14th. Anyone who says V-day goes both ways has obviously never been a normal individual. Okay so moving on from my slight distain of the subject.

What I learned today is that it is the little things that really matter (unless its seeing a pic of Kim Kays Tay's first thing in the morning!) the most to people. I saw an 82 year old woman with the biggest smile on her face all day because of a small gesture and other women at work with a giddy up in their step because of a card, a call, or a small amount of flowers. I think everyone can do well to take note of the little things. Learn the favorite color, candy, nascar driver, song, or anything that the other person is adamant about.
