Inspiring Romance # 18 – Leaf Him a Message
One of my favorite things about fall are leaves. They are in constant change and florish in different colors, just like our romantic relationships. They leave little trails down the sidewalks and in our driveways. They stick to our windows and cling to our feet. But best of all, they change color from the spring leaf greens to vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues.
As children, we rake them up, just so we could jump in them. As adults, we stand back and watch our kids, or other kids gather them up, pile them up high, and have contest of who can scatter the most leaves. Once in a while we may find ourselves tempted to jump in, and some times do.
But if leaf jumping isn’t for you, then the next time your out walking, pick up a leaf or two. Write a special message, like “Autumn leaves as winter comes, but like the spring my love for you continues to grow.”
Too sappy? Then try “XOXOXO” or “I love you”, with a marker on the leaf. Stick it somewhere he’ll find it, or when he’s sitting let if fall from above him, like the the leaves falling from the trees.
You never know where your romance may lead you. You just might find ourself outside jumping in leaves!
