Reflections From a Country Girl

October is here and it’s time for the smells of fall….pumpkins, cinnamon, turkey.  I call it the flavors of the season. 

Since relationships are important to all of us, it’s critical to continue to consider the spice in your life … regardless of the season.  

There are many things you can to do rekindle a solid … or even troubled … relationship if both of you do it in a kind and loving spirit and are willing to work closely together to make it stronger.  The very best thing is to refocus positive energies on communication at all levels of your partnership and watch your relationship kindle around the warm spirit of your hearts!

Here are some fun ways to consider rekindling the fall passion in your life so you can be reminded that the forthcoming holiday season is a time to celebrate for many reasons. Some of these have been passed on to me and some are my tried and true ideas.  I suspect that, after reading them, you can use your own imagination to come up with some on your own that will be pleasing to your partner. 

Warm his/her socks 

 

Cook him/her a heart-shaped meatloaf

 

Carve his/her initials on a walking stick or on a tree

 

Draw an “I Love You” sign on the sidewalk with chalk so he/she will see it on the way in

 

Dress up like Cupid or wear some other hot little costume just for him/her…remember, Halloween will soon be here…but why wait!?

 

Put her on a pedestal

 

Buy her fresh flowers just because 

 

Change the kitty litter or take out the trash without her/him asking you to do it

 

Help clean up after dinner 

 

Listen…really listen… without any interruptions

 

Understand

 

Pamper her in a way you are sure to please her

 

Smell flowers together

 

Ignore her/his faults for a day…or more

 

Cook dinner for her

 

Paint her toenails

 

Buy and cut a pumpkin together

 

Spend time with the kids so she can sleep

 

Take turns giving each other a backrub

 

Don’t fight

 

Empathize 

 

Blindfold him/her and go on a trip to somewhere special

 

Pamper him/her in a way you are sure will please him/her 

 

Gaze into her/his eyes

 

Rock him/her to sleep

 

Share “Dove” chocolates and read the sayings together

 

Send a love note in the mail to him/her

 

Invite him/her to take a walk together early in the morning or late in the afternoon

 

Massage his/her scalp

 

Hide little surprises

My wish for you today is that you are the recipient of some of these little “spices of life” and that you, when the time is right, share some of these with someone close to you. For those of us not in a relationship right now, look for these kinds of characteristics in those you may be considering a relationship with.  You deserve to have someone in your life you can pamper and who will be capable and willing to spice up your life, too!
