Valentines Day 2009 by Jeff Schrembs

2009, here we are in the "second month" and I find myself still using "2008". For some reason February is such a "different month" to being with. First you only have 28 days in this month then they throw in Presidents Day and Valentines Day and (historically) February can be "turning springlike" OR "freezing your derriere off".
Anyway I have a wonderful suggestion for those looking for unique "once in a lifetime gifts" to give their loves ones. For those who happen to have (and lucky you) "extra cash lying around" please feel free to just...get it to me. I will make it easy for you, I will have it picked up, I will say thanks, you will feel better and so will I so just...let me know.
For those of you married, and still in love, taking a "loved" photo - and getting it restored/blown up/enhanced and then framed is a wonderful gift. If you have old 8mm movies, or VHS, lying around step it up and transfer them to DVD. But, you can't stop there you have to add the flowers, dinner, and the card.
For those of you married, and not in love, I can't help you...sorry.
For those of you just being able to date (legally) I have only four letters for you but you will thank be throughout your life IF you abide by them (scroll down for the four letters):

W

A

I

T

Wait!
For those of you in College, or getting ready to go to College, FINISH your Education now more than ever. FINISH. FINISH by any means necessary. Study HARD, work HARD, keep your word, hold your head high and PUSH YOURSELF to greatness. God doesn't make "mistakes" so get your move on.
For any children/teenagers writing (in your handwriting) a card about why you love them so much, and what they do to make you laugh, and what they do that you like the most, is a GREAT gift.
For any Elvis Presley Fans checkout the EBay Store entitled ELVISCOLLECTORWORLDWIDE and/or www.ElvisCollector.info.
For adult children thinking about what to get their Parents, and aren't in a position to repay all the years of "roof over your head/food/loans/use of cars/cash/etc.", then BREAK DOWN and "knock out" three of four CHORES that your Parents aren't able to do (wash/detail their car, organize a room, help them with computer, around the house improvement, etc.). Ask...and ye shall find.
Well, that is enough input for now except that I wish ALL of Gods children a wonderful, healthy, beneficial, joyful, memorable, save, and peaceful Valentines Day...and 2009....and beyond. We owe it, to each other, to acknowledge that children/parents have REAL NEEDS (clothing, food, etc.) here in the US and around the World. Even if it is going thought storage boxes, for clothes, giving them to (example) Salvation Army will end up going to a person...in need.
Helping our fellow man, with respect/love/grace, is a wonderful thing indeed.
Diamonds, sparkles, and bling "catch the eye' BUT if you are looking to "catch the heart"...follow your heart as it will let you know the right thing to do...just....listen to your heart as it is the INTERNET to your Soul.
For those who "want to be romantic" but are "cash challenged" then find out what type of books they like OR what are their interests that they always wanted to pursue but haven't. Then go to the Public Library and check out a few books, perhaps a "do it yourself" for certain things you know about, AND see if they have a MOVIE section (all of the Libraries in our areas have a large selection of DVD which surprised me) and check out a movie appropriate to your....mood.
Taking the time to put together a UNIQUE PHOTO, combined with a handwritten letter of love/thoughts/dreams/memories, is ALWAYS a hit.
Take care and God bless.
