Five Little Things to Show You Care About Someone

Sometimes our life gets in the way of showing the people we truly care about how we feel about them. Sometimes whole relationships are destroyed because the people in the relationship didn't know that they were cared about. You can't assume that these people know that you love them, care for them, or even think they are special. If you don't say it, and the two of you are really busy; little niceties go by the way side. All of a sudden a few weeks, and then and months. It's possible that if we just gave each other a little more affection in the middle of the rough and tumble day, we all might be a little more happy. In addition to that, maybe the divorce rate might go down. I present to you 5 little things we can do to show that special someone we care.

Send a person a letter. In this world of cyber space and text, nobody sits down and writes a letter anymore. Back in the day, I remember getting letters from relatives that were 3 sentences; but, I was ecstatic about getting that letter. To this day, if there is a letter in amongst all of the bills, the letter is the first thing I open. That one letter makes me feel like someone actually took the time to care about me.

Send a different kind of letter. You don't have to write anything in it. Just copy down "I love You" in 1000 different languages. Ok, that's an exaggeration, maybe only 50. There are tons of websites out there that have these kinds of lists, or some sort of list of terms of endearment. Print it out, cut them out, and put them in an envelope. It's just that simple.

Go get it a rose. They cost $2 at a gas station, or you can go all out with the vase and baby's breath, and you'll pay $10. In some places you can get a whole dozen for $10. Attach a little note that only you and the other person would know or understand. Place this flower outside of their house (if you don't live with them), or deliver it to their place of work. I don't care how big and tough, or how much of a big time business person you are, getting a flower from someone you love at work is just neat. I've even seen a bunch of construction workers get jealous of another guy because his wife sent him a sandwich, and they were eating out of the pails they brought that had been sitting in the sun for the last 4 hours.

Write them a poem and frame it. This is pretty simple if you are poetically inclined, but if you're not, that's ok too. Find a poem you really like, print it out, and frame it. It's as simple as that. The frames can be bought at a dollar store, and you can use just regular paper to print it on. You can be as imaginative or as cheap as you can afford and your mind will allow.

Finally, find something that was created, made, published, or something on the month and year they were born. Comic books are great for this, but your special someone has to be interested in comics. Get a newspaper from where they were born on the exact date they were born. Many newspapers will print you up one of their archives, or give you access on line for a few bucks. Research and you'll find a number of things. The key to this present is that it should not be given to them on or around their birthday. This should be something spontaneous that shows them you still know when their birthday is and you are thinking of them.

In the end , it's the little things that we remember. It's the special things that make a relationship or a friendship as magical as it is.
