It could have been triggered by the sun streaming in after a drizzly day. Maybe it was because I felt like celebrating after a bit of a scary night last night. I just felt like the evening called for romance. I love how each person carries a different notion of what stirs up their heart. I'm not talking about the romantic connection you feel for your love. I am talking about little things you can do in your day that trigger your feelings of romance. What puts a little extra flutter in your heart? Cooking a beautiful meal for your loved ones with a glass of wine in hand and your favourite music in the background? Picking yourself a bouquet of wildflowers? Anything and everything by candlelight? Cozying up by a fire? Hiking in the great outdoors? For some reason, tonight's remedy called for baking pie and going to a movie. I know there isn't a lot of poetry based on pie baking, but I think there is something beautiful in the creation of anything delicious. You put something personal into it and get to treat your loved one after. After dessert we caught Woody Allen's latest gem: Midnight in Paris. It's such a sweetly told little charmer with the main character finding himself in the most amazing company once the clock strikes midnight: Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Picasso, to name but a few. The steady stream of literary and artistic talent he encounters captivate him and inspire him to complete his fledgling novel. Being an English major, I loved the concept and think Woody did a great job of capturing the real whimsical romance of Paris. Do something special for yourself tomorrow.
