So, in honor of the year-in-review, make it a goal this week to acknowledge your unique lessons...and then, be prepared to share them next week in the "love truths" forum. (*hint*)
Set up a special quiet evening (whether it be an intimate dinner for two or a simple hour or so, cuddling in bed with a few candles lit to set the mood) to do your honoring. Let the purpose be to openly and honestly discuss your past year together. Also, this would be an ideal opportunity to set some joint goals for the new year. You could set aside some time with your mate if you are in a serious partnership, or even just spend a night by yourself to think back over the year's high and low points in your love, romance, and relationship areas. Browse through pictures, letters, e-mail, cards, etc. that represent 1998 for inspirations. Then, perhaps write about some of the following questions or just think about how you would answer:
- What were your most romantic moments of 1998?
- What important lessons have your relationships taught you this year?
- How have your relationship(s) evolved over the past twelve months?
- What were the low points of your love life?
- What were the hight points?
- What do you wish you would have done differently and why?
- What do you wish you had said to a love interest this year?
- What do you regret saying?
- What could you have done to be more romantic?
- What do you wish your mate would have done to be more romantic?
- How are you different (for better or worse) in December than you were last January, love wise?
- What one thing do you hope will change this coming year in your relationship or love life as a single?
While on the writing roll, why not compose a couple's list (also appropriate for unpartnered romantics that wish to set the mood for 1999) as a powerful year-long tool for fun and romance? Devise a list of goals, dreams, hopes, desires, fantasies, etc...things you'd like to do or experience before 2000 arrives! IS there something new or different you have always longed to try? Add it! Is there a particular fantasy you'd like to act out with your Honey? Put in down! Is there some place you're intrigued to make love? Put it in ink! Is there something you'd like your partner to do for you? List it! Then, work together to make as many of those goals and ideas happen throughout the year. Check off each accomplishment and feel free to add new ones as they come to mind. This is a fun, inspiring, relationship boost for any level of romantic.
