Memories, Why Not Create Them
A picnic, a vacation, dancing under the moonlight. Those events are what makes a relationship special. Without them, the time you spend together falls into a blur of similarity. The more memorable moments you have to look back on, the more special your relationship. So, why not create memories on purpose? When you plan a picnic, don't just go to the deli and pack a brown bag. Get a nice basket, maybe attach some flowers to the handle, line it with a colorful cloth, put real wine glasses in, not plastic, real silverware, cloth napkins. Make the food attractive and tasty. A nice blanket, a secluded spot. Then think of some activity that is out of the ordinary, something you've never done before. A game, a contest, a writing assignment. Go the extra mile and you'll be able to add a wonderful memory to your list. When you put some real thought and caring into the creation of an activity women feel adored and men feel appreciated. It doesn't have to be a big deal. When I met my boyfriend for the first time he brought me a long stemmed red rose. On Valentine's day he had one delivered. I cried for half an hour, not because a single red rose is that unique, but because the second one told me he remembered the first. Do you think either will ever be forgotten? No way. Thoughtful surprises, special details, magical moments of intimacy. Don't forget those little innocent comments either. I've mentioned on several occasions that I thought it would be nice to have something, and the next day, my husband brought it home. I'm not one to hint, but he pays attention. He may not be comfortable saying the mushy stuff like in the movies, but he loves making me feel special. That's what memories are made of. So go ahead, plan a memory right now.

It's the out-of-the-ordinary moments that memories are made of--the blips on our screen as we look back. Those memories are usually events that someone went to some trouble to create.
