Just Because

I just sent my wife some flowers and roses.
WHY? You ask.
Is it her birthday? No.
Is it your anniversary? No.
Ok..You're in trouble? Nope, that's not it either.
Well it's not valentine's day...is it? Nope it's not valentine's or any other holiday for that matter.

You're asking all the wrong questions. You're asking "for what occasion" are you sending your wife flowers?
I don't need an occasion. Do you? Frankly I think while the holidays (valentine, etc) have they're place, they're way over-rated and unsurprising. Why? Because everybody and their mom expects gifts on these days. Oh sure there is that one guy who's going to surprise his wife with a new BMW, but for us common folk it's just seems to be a routine. Now don't get me wrong...I'm not knocking the holidays, I'm just saying that shouldn't be the only reason to do something special for your significant other. Why should you wait for some day on the calender to send a rose or write a letter or buy something special? You shouldn't.

Which is why I sent the roses and balloons....Just Because.
Just because I love her and wanted her to know it. And I guarantee you that that 'just because' gift will get a bigger reaction and will go further than say the same roses sent on valentine's day or her birthday or mother's day. Those were expected (and for good reason...don't you dare miss those days) but today is just an ordinary day and she's not expecting it.

Don't believe me...try it sometimes. Keep it random don't get into a pattern, because then even that will be expected.
