My Beloved and I sometimes write notes or sign cards to each other that end with LAAF! and/or SHMILY! It’s not because we have forgotten how to spell the words “Laugh” or “Smile”. “LAAF & SHMILY” are actually acronyms for “Love Always And Forever” and “See How Much I Love You!” that we sometimes use as quick reminders that we are there for each other forevermore.
We sometimes leave notes with no other message but LAAF SHMILY where the other will find them. Such notes take very little time, and like so many of the most important things in life, are free.
If you are in a strong long-term committed relationship, you might find value in using this or a similar approach as a reminder to both of you.
And if you aren’t in such a relationship, but wish to someday be in one, it is my hope that you find your soul mate when the time is right for you.
I’m very grateful for the one I have–-even after and partially because of nearly 34 years of marriage. I like to invest the time to frequently remind her of that fact. As an investment manager, I like the Return On Investment! ;-D!
With Love,
Russ

it’s good that you share these, people who are successful in love can show others how it’s done.
Thank you, Bill. Good point! I learn so much from others too.
who will show the youngsters how to love if we don’t?
LOL! Too soon old and too late wise!
A good investment 🙂 I love hte idea of those notes, a smile across the room , showing “I love you”, all these little gestures free and priceless. Worth investing in! 🙂
Priceless indeed! Thank you, Ute.
We have acronyms that are similar!! These little gestures are the ones that hold the greatest place in my heart – and I’m sure it’s true for you and your beloved as well.
Little things with big impact. Like so much else that brings joy to our lives. Thank you for your comment, Mimi.
