I want to think that if I only had two weeks left, I would make the most of it. I am afraid I have squandered too much already. So, I try again to savor instead of squander. And, here, provide proof.

my husband has changed our life
my husband has changed our life... and I am amazed.
One day I knew that something had changed in our life. This difference seemed to have been coming on for a number of days, and I could not put my finger on why it had happened. There was something kinder, sweeter, better in our home. Recognizing this change sort of dawned on me one afternoon. I could not explain it, or even really articulate it. I just knew things were different. AND, I found myself responding differently to my husband because of it. It all felt GOOD.
There was a day around the first of January when my husband decided that he would take five minutes each day and think about me. He thought about what he liked about me, he thought about my strengths, he thought about what his life would be like if he did not have me any more..... (I did not know he was doing this.) I only know that I occasionally saw him looking At me with a tender look on his face. Sometimes he would just reach over and hold my hand for a moment. Sometimes it was just a feeling that passed through. Then, one day I heard him explain to someone what he had chosen for a goal this year, and the light came on for me. The changes in our life are a direct result of his choice to do that one little thing. that one little thing brought with it a flood of positives that we both enjoy. His tenderness brings out kindness in me that had not been evident for some time. It is that principle that says what you put out to the world come back to you abundantly. I am amazed.
