Nothing quite like a written love note.  Whats more is that there’s nothing like writing a special note for the one that holds your heart, especially at night.  I am a creature of darkness, so I know great bias exists here, but even so…  Enveloped in the tranquility of night, rejoiced in the warm light of burning candles and cozied on the couch in comfortable fashion.  Maybe some soft, soulful, inspiring music playing in the background.

Tell me that doesn’t sound divine.  Add some chocolate, you got yourself a full on date with yourself.  

I’ve always appreciated the written word, and I guess I have a thing for writing little blurbs.  Always had a problem with being a little wordy, but there’s too many words I like to not be wordy.  We live in a beautiful world with beautiful words – what’s a girl to do?

I think love notes are under appreciated in today’s society.  People too easily throw around “I love yous” with text messages, but to see it in someone’s handwriting is personable, connectable, impressionable.  I was totally born in the wrong era (no offense, love you Mom).  How romantic were Noah’s letters to Allie? C’mon.  If I’ve lost you, please educate yourself with Nicolas Sparks’ work.  (You’re welcome.)  The acknowledgement and affirmation of your affections for someone with ink on paper is thrilling.  It may be quite serious, or playful, but intentional.  I think that may be why I admire it so, the intent behind the romantic words, the adoration hidden in between the words, laying sweetly on the page’s surface.  

And yes, reading someone’s love note is just as lovely.  The kind of lovely that makes you hold your breath, reread, remind yourself to breathe, ignore your own reminder, feel your heart skip (a few times), remember that you actually do need to breathe…and then reread every single delightful word with a glowing heart and a moonstruck soul (ahem, princess of the night).

Try it, write your beau a love note.  Doesn’t have to be longer than a few words, really.  Just enough to deliver your endearment, your sincere heart.  

What human doesn’t enjoy reading expressed fondness about themselves? Win, win.  Add chocolate….you’re golden 🙂 

Definitely time for this girl to enjoy The Notebook.  And by enjoy I mean sit on the couch (in the dark of course) with chocolate, a sweet glass of wine and cry because its so perfect.  And by cry I mean uncontrollably sob because thats what females do when they watch The Notebook. XOXO
