The Love Dare

Day 2 "Love is Kind, and I can be too."

"In addition to saying nothing negative to your spouse AGAIN today, do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness." (The Love Dare, 2008)

What discoveries about love did you make today? What specifically did you do in this dare? How did you show kindness?

So far today has been a very good day. Love is in the air! Last night we watched Eclipse, I am guessing that was an act of kindness from Kyle since I know he would rather watch anything else. He also let me take a 2 hour nap! WOO HOO!!!!! So this morning I got up made us breakfast, and made his coffee. I channeled the TV to CNN Headline News which he is required to watch for school, and not the usual Investigation Discovery which I love.

The discoveries I made about Love today is that if I am kind and patient with Kyle our house is more kind and patient. He shows an over abundance of kindness and patience with me, something I think I have come to expect and no appreciate. Since my lack of kindness and patience has been brought to my attention the last couple of days I have a new found appreciation for the amount of love, kindness, and patience that is allotted to me. I feel today is going to be a good day. I am going to take the children to the let it snow party tonight at church, another act of kindness...Kyle didn't want to take them. Then when I get home I will probably play Rock Band which we both enjoy doing together!

The next 38 days are looking brighter and brighter!
