Self Romancing

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY....

I know we are all going to give and get something nice today from our loved ones,
But it's also nice to do a little bit of self-romancing,
Take the time to do something you hadn't done for you in a while,
Do you take showers for the sake of expedience,
Then soak in fragrant bubbles and oils....while sipping on a favorite, colorful beverage,
Make sure the lights are low and the fragrant candles are burning,
Is it your normal thing to only eat salads at lunch,
Then make sure you treat yourself to something really calorie-laden and luscious,
I am thinking Ice Cream Sundae with toasted pecans, walnuts, sweet black cherries, chocolate shavings and real whipped cream...
Or if you normally only read serious stuff,
Find a lovely romantic read and get lost in the pages of the book,
With your feet up, dressed in your most comfortable outfit,
Try this,
Stay in bed with the covers up to your neck, with soft music playing (Sade, maybe)
while you do nothing but lie there, thinking of nothing of any importance,
Now all of you know this sounds mighty indulgent,
And isn't that what romance is all about indulging the senses,
And spending time with someone you love...
And real love starts with self love....

Smooches,
Angelia
