Happy, Sad Or In-Between? Songs To Fit Every Mood, Moment, And Reason This Valentine

On my way to work this morning, the radio played some really lovy dovy songs, one track after another, for quite a while. I double-checked the radio to make sure I was tuned onto my regular channel. After that batch of songs, came the commercials. Later, the DJ explained the logic behind the continuous love songs! In my moment of insanity, I forgot what day it was.

So, today I am going to take a break from my normal blogging niche. Listed below are my recommendations for the "frame of mind", you currently are in, might have been in or will be, in the future! Regardless of where you are in the relationship spectrum (hopeless crush, 20th anniversary or sworn off love for good), there is a song out there that matches your situation like a needle to a groove. Which one is your story?

Valentine Feature:Love Comes In All Sizes

Source:email (Thank you Eroma, for sending this my way)

Love comes in all sizes....
Your Friends will support you....
And respect your creativity
for thinking outside the box....

They'll be there when you need a
shoulder to lean on....
Or a great big hug....

A true friend takes interest in
understanding what you're all about....
They see beyond the black and white
to discover your true colors....
And accept you just the way you are...

Even when you just wake up in the morning
So make your own kind of music..
Follow your heart wherever it takes you....
And when someone reaches out to you,
Don't be afraid to love them back....
They may just be a friend for life....

Practice patience and tolerance.....
Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave....
And impossible to forget!

Share this will all your unforgettable friends today!

Wish all of you a Happy Valentine.

Single Today? 7 Reasons Unveiled

In my last post I wrote How To Easily (and Lazily!) Make Your Loved One Feel Special. Not too many people, talk of those who are single on Valentine's day. Yet, for those who are single, Valentine's day may not be too pleasing.

So I would like to dedicate this Valentine Vanity post to all those who are single; today. Or as a friend of mine phrased it, to the people "On the shelf". The first time, I heard that I thought it was partly mean. Then the more I thought about it, the more funny it seemed! Anyway, I too have been in and out of shelf (often!). Through life experiences, I have come to terms with the fact that People Come Into Your Life For A Reason, A Season Or A LifetimeSo, this list is a collection of my Incidental Gleanings as well as observations. Moving on….

#1. Fear
Of Commitment
Of Rejection
Of Trusting someone
Of the future
The list goes on.

#2. Blindness
I have heard a saying, "Some men go through a forest and see no firewood". Not only men, but I believe it applies for women as well. Sometimes, may be the person you are looking for may be right in front of you. However, for some imbalance of destiny you might not be aware of it!

#3. Sky High Expectation
Each of us have some sort of an expectation. Personally, I don't think you should settle for less. Then on the other side of the equation there are those who dream of a "perfect partner". While in relationship reality it is a give give, and a take. (note the two gives!)

#4. Geeky
Technology, has given us so many benefits in the past decades and still continue to do so. However, it has also made people "loners". Does that make any sense? More and more people prefer to sit in front of a computer and play games, chat ,browse the net etc rather than meet people in person. The same could be said to those who enjoy the books, Television etc as well.

#5. Recovery
Some could have gone through a breakup or a loss of a loved one. You might be seeking for some recuperating time.

#6. Waiting
It really makes me sad to hear stories where, girl loves boy but the boy repeatedly says he has no feelings for her (and visa versa). In such situations, one party might hold on to the other person, and hope that fate will change. Usually, these have a sad ending. So, for what ever reason, if you are waiting for somebody, make sure that it is really really(purposely repeated!) worth the trouble.

#7. Improper Personal Grooming
This one is mostly, for guys. Finger nails, mustache etc etc Basically, the hygiene factors!

Having said that, I don't think that there is anything "wrong" with being single. If you are happy with who you are, and what you are doing, the I'd just say 'Just enjoy being you'!
What do say?

You HAVE TO Love What You Do

How To Easily (and Lazily!) Make Your Loved One Feel Special

Its that time of the year again. I'll be writing some related posts within the course of the week. I prefer to call it the Valentine Vanity series!)

When I was around 9 years old (I think!), we had to write an essay on What the world would be like in year 2000. This was part of our homework for English. I remember this essay because I spent a lot of time interviewing adults in order to get some facts to write. As usual though, I disregarded most of what they had to say and added my own imagination. (I was a crazy nut at that age too!)

Anyway, we are in year 2007 now and I've seen and experienced quite a change in our world and it's people! However, amidst all chaos some things still remain the same. I used to love presents when I was a kid and I still do! I bet whatever your age, you do too. Irrespective of the changing times people generally love gifts. Have you ever wondered why?

I don't know about you, but here is my reason. It is simply because someone thought of me and went out of their way to get me something. I have begun to realize that time is an important factor in anyone's life. So whenever, someone gives a gift (depending on the gift) they also dedicate an element of time as well. Most of the time it is not the content of the gift that matters (at least for me!). A gift is a way of making someone feel special.

Right, now what has this little babble got to do with Valentine? So, here is a way for you to give a gift to your loved one this Valentine. Have you forgotten to get a gift? If you have, then this will definitely get you a "quick fix" gift. However, if you did remember and went out of your way to plan something special, you still can add more value to it.

I am guessing that this song collection will warm even the stone-st of hearts! You can use these for a song dedication, a simple card …. Or some creative hand-work or more!

All My Life- Linda Rondstadt
I never thought that I could feel a love so tender
I never thought I could let those feelings show
But now my heart is on my sleeve
and this love will never leave

Forever By Your Side-Manhattans
Now we see our love has grown
And these have been the sweetest times
That I have ever known
And I know that it will never end,
'Cause every time I look at you,
I fall in love again

Everything-Brian McKnight
Yesterday, came in your eyes, I caught a glimpse of tomorrow
And that's when I realized, that dreams come true.
For you love there's nothing I would not do.
Do I love you? Baby, I do.

If You Could See What I see
And you would know you have my heart
If you could see, what I see
that a treasure's what you are
If you could see, what I see
Created to be
the only one for me
If you could see, what I see

For You I Will-Monica
I will shield your heart from the rain
I will let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you, I'm here forever
I will be your fortress, tall and strong
I'll keep you safe, I'll stand beside you , right or wrong

For The First Time-Kenny Loggins
Such a long time ago
I had given up on findin' this emotion..ever again
But you live with me now
Yes I've found you some how

Love of my life- Jim Brickmen
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are the love
The love of my life
