77 ways to say 'I Love you'

LIVING ALIVE - LIVING ALIVE By Dero Pedero -
When Valentine’s Day, that big, annual event they call "Christmas of the heart" comes, we all go crazy looking for cards, flowers, chocolates and special, impressive and memorable gifts to show our loved one that we care. We book a table for two at some fancy (and trés expensive, especially on the red-letter day itself!) restaurant, queue up for a romantic movie, even have musicians serenade your precious Juliet.

After Valentine’s Day, everything becomes quiet like the calm after the storm. You wonder where all the professed love, the frenzy, and the maddening Valentine traffic went. It is amazing how commercialism and advertisement shake, sway and move us, and rule and dictate over our minds, emotions and actions! Like a mindless herd, we are agitated into a wild stampede willing to be taken advantage of emotionally and financially.

People do become less demonstrative of their love after February 14. Maybe it is because they get immersed in day-to-day realities such as work, bills to pay, and incessant life problems. But this need not be so. Love should not be a February 14 exclusive.

Looking for fun, saucy, sexy, unique and practical ideas with which to show, rekindle and spice up your love on the remaining 364 days of the year? Here are 77 ways!

1.
Reaffirm your love daily by giving your loved one a loving kiss upon waking up and before going to sleep.
