As Valentine’s Day approaches …
February 9, 2009
Marty & Trina
We do so many things in our lives to celebrate each other and our love everyday.
We are kind to each other. We serve each other. We celebrate life with simple things everyday.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, I’m thinking of ways I can show my love for him in a special way. Because we do still enjoy spending time together, have Starbucks together often, eat out together often, watch 24 together weekly and still engage in conversations, my list is very short!
I have planned to cook his favorite meal. I’m preparing a Pork Tenderloin Roast, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans and a Root Beer Soda with Root Beer Ice Cubes! I have been attempting to write a letter or a brief story for him … but so far, nothing but writer’s block!
I am hoping to come up with something great very quickly! After all, this is our 22nd Valentine’s Day together as husband and wife!

I enjoy a health drink called Naked. It’s title is very catchy and it simply means…it is stripped of all the bad things that usually are packed into our drinks. Naked Juice means all natural 100% pure juice with absolutely nothing added…no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
I appreciate it when people are NAKED with their experiences. I appreciate the simpleness and the unadorned truth. I find it an admirable trait when someone can be plain-spoken even though it isn’t politically correct.
So many times in our life, I feel like it is customary to wear masks. I feel like it is customary to never expose our true feelings or thoughts. Even in churches, I have found some of them to teach us that we are only to experience JOY! That’s a great emotion to experience but as humans we experience EACH AND EVERY emotion including anger, grief and sadness.
Too many times, those who are naked end up unsupported….because they aren’t following the pack of what has become customary in our culture.
