My 2009 Challenge to Myself


I decided this year to write my husband a love note each day for the entire year. I decided to do this for several reasons. First, I really wanted him to know how much I love and appreciate him. Second, it is hard to always recall the little things I want to say when I'm writing him a card for a special occasion. So, I decided to spend a few minutes every night thinking about the little things he does and then write him a note.

So far, I haven't missed a day. There's been a few times when I had to write two at once, but so far he has 30 little love notes from me. I have noticed several positive things coming from this. Because I am identifying all the little things that he does, he tries to consistently do those little things. I feel that he has a new sense of appreciation for me as well. It's kind of a neat thing. I would challenge all married people out there to try this little experiment as well.

What a great idea! I'm going to give love notes to each member of our family every day for the month of February. I don't always take the time to say I love you or notice all the little things they do.
P.S. I'm glad Hayley is doing well.
