Deciding Factors is, of course, another spa night for lovers. Since a spa night is tranquil. While also giving room for a romantic pause. Not to mention a good dermatologist report from your significant other.
But I must admit it’s not entirely my idea. Since, the main of this activity came from a woman who I met while working at a retirement retreat. So, let me begin by telling her story.
Her husband had lost much of his motor function due to early Parkinson’s. And it became gradually harder for him to shave himself. So, she began a ritual of doing it for him. But instead of making him feel that he was failing, this smart wife made a romantic time of it!
She repeated the following deciding factors to me
I would say to him… “George, tonight I’ll shave you. Then we’ll apply a facial mask together.” I thought it a pleasant activity for us to try.
“But little did I know how much it would mean to me later,” she added.
“That was very clever of you…” I said.
She continued, “As the days grew on he couldn’t wait for our special time together. I knew he needed a shave and a facial. And anything else was fine with him.”
“I found her actions dECIDEDLY CUTE.”
“He knew what I was doing. But soon forgot about his losses. And instead, we looked forward to our times together. Which, by the way became more and more frequent until his death,” she told me.
“I’m sorry for bring up something so painful,” I added.
She smiled sweetly, while patting my hand. Adding, “That’s fine. I’m glad to share the memory with anyone who cares to listen to an old woman babble on about her George.”
And with a lump welling in my throat and holding back some tears. I nodded saying, “No, I love it. Really.”
Then she sat back adding, “I felt we had hard times ahead. But we vowed to make them good times, instead. And I remember them fondly to this day.”
Again, she thanked me for reminding her of the memory.
And I never forgot it either. Because it was that deciding factor that made me realize how wonderful and powerful love really is. While also realizing how important it is to stay cleaver instead of defeated. Even when the odds seem to be in charge. And it is because of her story that this activity exists in this blog.
So, prepare to dress in towels. Or nothing at all. Then bring your razors and such. Because tonight ladies, you’re in charge of shaving your man. And if your man wears a beard, then simply groom it. Then move on to the facial. But unless his hand is broken, he’ll be applying the goo to your face as well.
