Today was about greeting my spouse in a loving way. I think most of the time I do that, but I know sometimes I'm so preoccupied with myself and what's going on in my little world, and then I don't do so good. The book brought out how, even when greeting a complete stranger, or even someone we don't like at all, we usually smile and greet them cordially. I know I sometimes put on my "so glad to see you" face, even if I'm not. I don't want to fake it with my husband, but I should want to put at least as much effort into greeting him as I do greeting a stranger. Today I greeted him with love and concern, as he has caught my nasty cold/flu bug. I made a point to look him in the eye with tenderness and touch him lovingly as I spoke to him. Things I should always do and will try to be more conscience of doing from now on. We did have some heated moments as we discussed some major problems in the world. We both get very passionate about our beliefs and they don't always agree. However, today when I realized where we were headed, I politely ended my side of the argument and went to type up this blog. Patience is still the hardest area for me. It amazes me how, over time, we become impatient with each other.
