Trust me - there is a point here.
Have any of you read this book?
No? You haven't read it? It's cool - I haven't either.
However, I am familiar with the concept. Basically, there are 5 love languages. They are how people show love and how they like to recieve love.
The Love Languages are: physical touch, acts of kindness, presents, words of aspiration...and one more that I can't remember -- but it doesn't matter what it is and it isn't the point of this post.
I show love by giving presents. I also do the other things, but I like to give things to those I love. If you question that, ask my neice and nephew :)
While I GIVE gifts to show affection, I always thought that I liked to receive love through physical touch and words of affirmation. I was pretty certain of that...
...then this showed up today...

OH yes! I got a present in the mail!!!! The best part? It was a present for absolutely NO reason at all, just to show me that I was loved and cared for.
AH-MAZ-ING
What? Someone loves Sazzle? Who? Is it a dude?
No dear friends, no dude. However, yes, someone does love me. My beautiful friend, Raquel (who doesn't have a blog but should). Raquel is amazing. She used to live in Holland but now lives in Texas with her husband, Scott and beautiful "daughter" Sophie (her puppy). I hope everyone has a friend like Raquel -- one of those women that just does good things to just do good things. Love her to death!!! I wish she lived here because I'd hang with her ALL the time.
What did the present include? Oh, it was a box full of wonderfulness!

If you can't tell, she included the following:
- The Lost Symbol
- Twilight
- York Peppermint Patty pieces
- A ton of tea
Raquel knows my love for books, yorks, and knows that I am trying out tea and wanted to give me some wonderful selections to choose from. Green tea, black tea, chi, etc... I think I am going to try the chi tonight. Raquel even gave me instructions on how to prepare them. Words cannot express how wonderful she is. LOVE HER!!!
In conclusion, I guess I ALSO like presents. Well, who doesn't, right?
Raquel TOTALLY Sazzles!!!
What a great friend! I always love getting things in the mail, too. Gifts are even better. And though my love language for receiving love isn't primarily gifts, it's always nice to get! BTW, my parents are therapists, so I know all about the love languages, they are: acts of service, physical touch, gifts, words of affirmation and quality time, in case you wanted to know ;)
ReplyDeleteI own that book..great book btw. Raquel is a great friend...how sweet! One time a friend of mine sent me a bouquet of silk flowers...the ones I kept/keep on my desk at work. Those are great selections. I also like Jasmine tea by Twinnings. There's is the best!
ReplyDeleteDB and I read that book together and we learned a lot. I highly recommend it for any couple.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet of your friend to send a care package. I love receiving packages too, but my love language is absolutely acts of service, with quality time being a close second.
What an awesome friend you have! I too am I gift giver, and a lover of random acts of kindness. I think I learned this from my Dad.
