Gratitude 08.27.09

Today, I am grateful for my husband. I am grateful for my husband everyday, but today I am grateful that he is compassionate and attentative.

It’s been a hard week (I’ll tell you about that later). It could have been a much worse week, but Steve has shown his love for me, and that has made what could have been a horrible week into something that is far less painful than I would have ever expected it to be.

He’s not gone into long throws about how he will love me no matter what. And, I really appreciate that for two reasons. One, I know that he will love me regardless of what the world is handing us. Two, he knows that I really can’t handle when people get mushy.

Instead of getting sentimental via pros and poems, he has done many little things over the past few days to show me he his love…

He bought me baby sodas. When he and I are together we share a can of soda, but when I am home alone, and have a soda, half of it goes to waste. Steve bought me little cans of soda because he knew I would be home alone for the next few days and would really want something fizzy to drink. He also came home with one of our favorite candies. It is nearly impossible to find this candy these days, and when you do find it, you run the risk of it being way past its prime. However, Steve found it. As we ate it, it reminded me of when we first started dating and found out that we both loved this candy. I smiled.

Among doing many other things to make my days easier, Steve has helped me with dinner, taken care of Moanna, allowed me to sleep a lot and ignored the fact that I have done none of my typical house work. I am grateful that he loves me the way he does, and that he shows his love the way he does. I consider myself lucky to have a husband that is so respectful of my needs, and in-tune with what makes me smile.
