As I woke up this morning something important occurred to me:
I want my goal over the next while in my family to be showing proofs of love.
It is part of my Happiness Plan and just being deliberate in this area this weekend made a big difference in our family almost instantaneously.
The funny part of it is-is that mainly I am doing it for them-but it really, really makes a difference in my happiness.
It makes the day so much better.
Taking the time to tell Hubby before I ran out door this morning how much I miss being on vacation with him.
Saving my Power Walk for Bear for end of day when we can do that together.Asking him during walk if he thought my rules about not having a girlfriend before Grade 10 are fair.
Teasing Chase-instead of yelling at him about how messy he is -throwing his papers from school to be signed in imitation of how he acts all the time. He laughed like crazy. "Fogetting" to ask him about his math exam and asking him about a whole bunch of other stuff first.
Laughing at the X-Mas lists that one of them wants pimple cream in stocking! No pimples just a planner like me for the futureJ
Planning with Beauty a night out to see Twilight together. Buying her a gingerbread house to make this weekend.
Looking at my Grampy2's pictures, whose anniversary date of death is tomorrow. Smiling at his handsome picture I keep in my office and telling him things I wish I would have done better when he was alive. Asking him to watch out for my kids and keep them safe.
Asking my brothers and friends for advice on subjects that really, really matter to me. Reaching out and asking for their help.
Dinner with my Mom tonight at a restaurant will be the icing on the cupcake. Kids made her thank you cards for “keeping them” for 2 weeks while we were away. I ordered a special gift for her on the Intranet that she will love to show our appreciation.
All things I feel always in my heart-but sometimes they don’t get as far as my mouth.
It makes me feel happier to bestow happiness on others. Makes everyday seem important.
Today was a perfectly happy and normal day all because of the small stuff. Quite frankly today also pissed me off on many levels for reasons I won’t get into now-,but instead of letting this stress me….I decided to instead soak up all the happy moments. Unusual behavior I know.
This may become a way of life for me..I like it so far anyways. I might recommend it to others actually.
