My Mother's Day Gift!

After being married for some time now, me and my husband have given each other pretty much every material thing that you could give each other. It get's old and boring, material items like a Burberry watch, Prada suites, Dolce Gabbana dresses, Louis Vuitton shoes, Bvlgari shades, David Yurman jewelry, Fendi purses, expensive dinners, prepaid spa treatments, the latest cellphone, ipods, cars, are all just nice things given with good intentions but have no inner meaning, it's solid and tangible, like giving someone a blank cd, shiny, but it doesn't have the songs to fill the heart and soul with.
Although, I think they are all pretty, and I do enjoy luxury but it is shallow. True love cannot be bought. Material presents even wrapped in the prettiest Tiffany box with the fancy silk ribbon and all, does not express love or show how passionate and appreciative someone can be for another.
So, as a couple, partners and lovers in life, together through the good and bad times, we vowed to each other as a new year's resolution every time an occasion came along we would never spend any money on each others gifts. Ok, not any money cause that might be impossible if you had to buy paper or something but if we did have to spend money $10 is the limit. Our creativity is the labor of love.
Like I always say, there is nothing better than receiving a handmade card or a real handwritten letter instead of an email of facsimile. Kindred Spirits we are: here is my Mother's Day gift, my husband made for me and for the world to see what our love is about. There is unselfishness, peace, serenity and contentment and true happiness between us even behind the closed doors.
In dedication to making our new year's resolution here's some proof!
