Show Gratitude for Your Spouse



Found this interesting article. At last something about appreciating the husband. A must read for wives(hint hint)

In my new book, 52 Ways to Wow Your Husband: Put a Smile on His Face, my friend K!mberly shares how picking up a pen helped her create a Thanksgiving attitude all year and fashion a long lasting love:
I love keeping a handwritten journal. . . . exhausted after one too many international moves   . . .  I found myself having less and less on my mind that I wanted to write down and let anyone, even if it's just me, remember. The handwritten journal turned into one long chronicle of a pity party. Among other physical issues, I  . . . was diagnosed with depression. 
One of the antidotes for this was starting an exercise of "choosing joy." I bought myself a little week at a glance calendar and made a pact with myself that everyday I’d write only the highlight, or even multiple highlights, of each day.  . . . I want to remember the good. I’m sticking in the business card from the nail shop where a friend took me for my birthday manicure; the theatre or movie ticket from a night I got out of the house . . . ; the rare note from my 12 year old son that says “you are awesome.” It’s becoming a little treasure book. . . .  God has new things for me.  Scripture says his mercies are new every morning. With this joy journal, I’m keeping track of it.
