8 Ways to Win My Heart
1. Say something nice about my kids.
2. Say something nice about my hubby!
3. Send me a little note in the mail.
4. Treat service staff with kindness.
5. Offer to take a routine chore or task off my hands.
6. Talk about books with me.
7. Be willing to go deep in conversation.
8. give me jewelry (okay, I hate to admit this one because it's so materialistic. But I'm a total sentimental fool, and I love wearing little symbols of love and friendship--even if they're a cheap little trinket--because it reminds of me of dear people. It honestly isn't the value--it's the little surprise of seeing something reflected in the mirror and thinking, "Oh, yes, this is from my friend..." or "These are my anniversary earrings.")
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot.
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession.

Have you read Way Down Deep by Ruth White? It's a very sweet children's book.
I know what you mean by #8. I have things in our home that mean something special because they belonged to someone else or were gifts. I remember Aunt Margaret when I see her tiny buffet; I remember Uncle Harold when I use his weeder; I lovingly think of my son when I polish the small wall cabinet he made me; I recall Aunt Eileen when I put out her Santa bell at Christmas.
