Today is Just Because day. I have always been a big fan of "just because" when it is done with kindness in your heart. I have often said to my significant other, "I would rather have one carnation on an odd day just because you were thinking about me and loved me, than a dozen roses on Valentines Day because you felt like you had to." I know there are some people out there who are thinking ...hell no, give me the roses. However, I have an obscene appreciation for the simplicities of life. Don't get me wrong, I love the extravagant things and appreciate them when they are gifted, but the things that tend to mean the most are the things done "just because."
I like to cook breakfast for my other half and surprise him at work just because it would make him smile.
I like to surprise my girls with random nail polish and other cosmetic finds, just because they get so excited and can make their nails look like a box of crayons.
I like to make my mother miscellaneous just because it always makes her smile and lets her know how much she is appreciated.
I bake goodies and give them away just because it may make someones day.
Life is about the simplicities and so this is definitely one of my favorite days.
What did you do today...Just because?
