small gestures in life

Tweet

Sometimes in life, the "big picture" doesn't matter. Sometimes, people should take a step back and look at some of the smaller things that life has to offer. I have been doing some of that lately. One of the things happened today actually as I was leaving for work. My husband came home from p.t. (he's in the Army). He needed to shower, but looked really cute in his gym shorts and tennis shoes. He got out of the car, jogged over to me, arms open, ready for embrace. He said he wanted to make sure I got a kiss before I left for work. It was so sweet and put me such a good mood for the entire day. He really does try hard-he's not the perfect husband. But who am I kidding? I'm not the perfect wife, though I pretend to be! :) But for the most part, he puts alot of love and affection into the relationship and that makes a huge difference. Even when he gets up for work really early, he makes sure to kiss me goodbye on the forehead. Sometimes I'm groggy or in dream world, but I know he does it still and it makes me smile, even in sleep. It's nice to have small gestures like this. Going to be and him automatically snuggling up to my body is another wonderful thing. I give him a hard time, probably too much of the time. Afterall, I am a woman, it does happen sometimes. Now I'm sitting here feeling bad about doing it, too. Ok, so he's not always doing things around the house. He works hard at work and I know that. And me, whether I admit it or not, I am a workaholic and I don't like to have time on my hands, so I am always doing something. I need to lay off on that one. In the grand scheme of things in marriage and in life, he is wonderful to me and I should show that more often. The love and affection he gives me are incredible. And in honestly, I wouldn't trade him for anything at all in the world. It's the little things like that, that as I get older, mean so much more to me than all other things.
