Yesterday we celebrated the ladies. It was a day to congratulate all the women of the world and for those special and dear ladies in your life, a gift in addition to the congratulations. There is absolutely nothing more beautiful than the smile of the woman you love as she receives a beautiful bouquet. If you are still miles away from your special lady as am I, a video can do wonders for the heart and soul as your lady smiles for you holding the roses that you sent just for her. I was blessed enough see my lovely lady, my one and only with her flowers, and to also see her daughter and the roses I sent to her. My dream is to also see her mother. I look forward to that day. It is an honor to celebrate the women in our lives. I wish that we in the USA had that tradition. Mother’s Day is the closest when we celebrate all Mother’s.

Besides the flowers from across the seas, I wonder just how one celebrates Women’s Day. Do the men of the household prepare fantastic feasts? Do they make breakfast in bed, and cook and clean all day? Do they take the ladies to the spa for a manicure and pedicure? I would love to know how the day is spent as it is a new phenomenon to me. I have so much to learn.

So what happens today. Do we forget all that we celebrated yesterday until next year? If that is true, then we have really missed the boat. I think it is fantastic that we have a day to celebrate women. But like Christmas, some people only celebrate on December 25, then forget the meaning until the next December 25. It is incumbent upon us to celebrate the love God showed us by giving us His son not only on his birthday but all year. For he is here for Love. It is also incumbent upon us to celebrate women every day. Particularly those directly in our lives, our wife, our mother, our sisters, daughters and so on. We should give them honor each and every day. We should protect them from all kinds assault—assault with words, with vulgarity, or with a raised hand. We need to treat them with respect. We need to understand when they just need us to be there and say nothing, but give them the protective shoulder. Decent men, good men, men who prove that chivalry is not dead, will give those things to their women, and all women every single day. And we do this not because they are the fairer or weaker sex. No! We do this because the lift us up and support us everyday. They deserve nothing less than the best from every man.

So these next couple of lines are for one particular lady and you know who you are; I will respect you, honor you, treat you with tenderness and gentleness everyday. I will not place you beneath me nor above me, but as my partner and equal, (even though your are most likely much smarter that I.) I will not let the sun go down without apologizing for any wrong I may have done. And most of all, I will love you, unconditionally, I will love you.

Men, I challenge you to do the same as I have just done, say these words to the women in your life. Make those words your heart to her—everyday. You will never have issue.
Women, it is OK to ask this, nay, demand this of the men in your life. They will be better for it.

Until next time,
TTFN, Ta-Ta For Now
