Ways I show appreciation

When he does something good...big or small, I use words. Thank you. I appreciate that. That makes me feel so special when you do that. You've just made my life easier....more fun...happier because you did that. A light touch on his arm, face, hand, etc when saying thank you or smiling big in response to what he has said...or a quick kiss, a quick, light rub of his back....a squeeze of his hand or knee. And most of all... a loving eat you up look with the words thank you. Amazing the wonderful responses I get.... :^)

Ways to show your Appreciation

It was nice to see. I had one of those duh me moments when I read the subject matter. But thank you for the reminder. Once a year at least I've hoped to remember to keep that up, when I did I found that not only did he received the post-it with the ability to make him have a quick smile. I felt a smile inside when I wrote or jotted down the item. After 24 years of being married you'd think it would be a natural instinct. But with life and the time constraints of the our days I've dropped the ball sometimes a month or year to be honest. The article left me with a smile so thought I'd respond to say Thank You for the reminder and the memories. Now I need to go jot down a note.
