Best morning break

One of the simple joys of marriage is having someone that can help turn the day around and one of the things I love about my husband is how he helps me. Today I had a rough morning at work and I needed to get out of the office and clear my head and needed someone to vent to for a minute. So for my morning break I text Jason to see of he could meet me for five minutes at his library. He graciously agreed and then he met me half way between his library and work (which is only a five minute walk, I love it) and he gave me a good hug which immediately relaxed me...seriously there isn't anything else in the world like a hug and kiss on the forehead from your husband and he let me vent. Then randomly he took me into a curious George store around the corner from my work and picked up a dr. Suess book and said "this break was brought to you by Dr. Seuss" and proceeded to read the book. He then told me I was tough and thanked me for working so hard and that was it, I was back at work and feeling much better about life. I've recently have discovered and am still discovering that you are in charge of your own happiness and I don't think having a Husband instantly makes you happier but today I learned that what my husband does for me is provide a great environment which makes it easier for me to choose to be happy and for that I am ever grateful.

  1. :) And expressing gratitude for others (and for yourself!) definitely increases happiness!! At a RS activity this week, the speaker started off with a challenge to compliment ourselves and one other person every day until the end of March! I love this! We did introductions where we said our name and then complimented ourselves! It was so great to do and to hear...some girls loved their hips, their eyes, their height, their people-loving personas, their athleticism, ther love of writing hand-written letters, their A-cups, etc...so fun!
