After a particularly hectic day, my husband came home from work mentally and physically exhausted. We had a light dinner and laid on the couch together, chatting about our individual days.
As we were talking, I realised ( yet again) how wonderful he is.What a sweet man he is. What a delightful soul i am sharing my life with and how lucky I feel to that he is in my life.
I told him all of this and though he smiled and thanked me quite casually, I could see in his eyes just how much it meant to him to hear these words from me.
We are all more than aware of how important it is to acknowledge childrens efforts. To express our feelings towards them, letting them know how we love them and how well they are doing, to share how proud of them we are etc etc but we sometimes forget that this need carries on throughout our lives.
It doesnt stop at 18,20, 25 or even 30. We as adults need and thrive on the same encouragement and re assurance that we are doing ok as children do.
Ok as adults we need to learn not to depend on others for this, we try to learn to do this for ourselves. BUT, its still a wonderful gift to give to a loved one.. truthful, heartfelt and genuine encourgement and love.
When I expressed my simple truthful comments to my hsuband, he appreciated it, it helped him feel good.. and it helped remind me to be more aware of this need not only in my wonderful husband, but also my friends and my family.
Thanks existance for the reminder. Awareness, its such a magical journey
until next time
