It *IS* The Thought That Counts
I was clicking through the blogosphere this morning, slowly waking up and coming to terms that it's a brand new year.
Over at Og's, he has posted about how doin' those little things for his wife now and again is better, and even more appreciated than those dozen roses and flashy gifts.
That stands for just about every woman I know.
For me, just knowing I'm thought of makes me happy. A call when I least expect it. A note. A meal waiting at the end (or beginning) of a long day. Hell, I've said it often enough but it still stands true. Bring me fresh coffee in the morning, that I didn't have to make, and I'm as happy as a bug in a rug.
But I've always believed the details, those small things, speak so much louder than the flash. I've had both. And I'm not real trusting of the flash. Words are easy. Over the top? Piece of cake. But it's those thoughtful deeds that say the most. Because they are, above all else, thoughtful.
So keep that tucked in the back of your mind as you get back into the grindstone that is everyday life. You want to show you care? Say you matter to me? Give them something that only you can give. The knowledge that you thought of them......

It IS the thought that counts. ;)
I understand you, but not every man can express his feelings such way!
