Sometimes things happen in my life NOT related to Afrezza such as the fact I hate holidays. Valentine's Day is not really a holiday to me but apparently to the rest of the world it is LOL Why would it be? Do people not show their loved ones how much they love them throughout the rest of the year? My husband and I have been married almost 25 years and I can't remember the last time we did anything for a birthday, anniversary or even V-Day. Now, this year we're celebrating our 25th in a big way and heading to Hawaii. That's because when we got married we said we were going to do that. But seriously, we don't typically do stuff.
So, I posted on FB about how there were no romantic dinners planned, no flowers purchased (yuck, I can't stand fresh flowers, they die! Keep them outside where they belong), no surprise gifts, etc. Well, I took a private beating for that one from my friends. Apparently they are only shown love once a year and took great offense that I did not get anything. I was fine with it; they had the issue LOL LOL Poor gals, my husband needs to give a training class on how to love your wife 365 days a year and be romantic daily!
Gals take note. If your mate only takes you out for a romantic dinner once a year or buys you a surprise once a year, you may have an issue LOL you don't have to have money to be romantic. Grab a candle from your Christmas decorations, a blanket and make soup beans for crying out loud. Then eat on the floor while playing some music in the background. Do you want to know something silly, yet oh so cute, my hubs did that totally surprised me? He got some program on his iPad and wrote our initials and drew a heart around them and then showed me. How silly, right? Yet ahhhhhh ladies you know you'd love it if your man did that!
Celebrating your love for one another shouldn't be once a year. It should be daily. Husbands, love your wife as Christ loves the church. Christ doesn't love the church yearly. He loves it every second. It doesn't matter how many children you have, how many pets, how much you work, there is a reason you chose to spend the rest of your life with this person. Celebrate that love daily! You did it when you were dating, do it now. Stop thinking it has to be about money. Once my husband made me a prayer bench for my prayer closet. I didn't need a holiday. I needed a bench so he took care of me. He works 10 hour days and still finds time to make me whatever I ask. Now, I try not to ask a lot of things of him because he is busy, but he loves me and sometimes, I just need stuff!
Yesterday was an overpriced day like all other made up ridiculous holidays to make merchants even wealthier. How? Candy and flowers. Way to go....oh yes and let us make that candy sugar free for diabetics because hey candy makers love us too, right? WRONG! Don't eat that junk. Take your Afrezza, inhale those units and if you must eat that processed garbage, eat the real garbage LOL not that sugar free stuff. I was proud of me. I did not buy and did not eat any candy. I would have though if it were homemade and I could pronounce the ingredients. I wouldn't have been scared. Afrezza is the best. What other insulin can you inhale that controls highs and lows like Afrezza? Oh yes I know the answer-NONE.
So, there is a moral to this rant, don't wait for February 14th to show someone how much you love them. Show them daily. Yes it's nice to go out for a nice dinner, etc, but if you're doing it on the exact same day as everyone else in the country, then automatically 90% of the romance is gone. Be creative, love your spouse as Christ loves you. Take TIME not MONEY for the person. Tomorrow is not promised.
