Confessions Of An UnOrGaNiZeD Mom

  [Love] believes all things, hopes all things.

TODAY’S DARE

For today’s dare, get two sheets of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your spouse. Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point during the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first list and thank your spouse for having this characteristic

MY EXPERIENCE

When I first read this I thought.....Oh this will be a snap.  Well think again.  In your mind you may be able to think "Oh my spouse has lots of great qualities" but when you try and put them down on paper it wasn't all that easy for me.   My negatives outweighed the postives.....ok SERIOUSLY outweighed them.  So then I re evaluated my list to see which negatives were just down right petty.  The ones that have nothing to do with him not collecting the garbage, etc.  Yes I need him to start doing that, there's many other days to get to that!  I just wanted to focus my list on him as an individual.  One of my good qualities was that he CAN BE thoughtful....so today as I was cleaning up the living room he came in and helped me.  So I thanked him for his thoughtfulness.
