Day 2

In addition to saying nothing negative to your spouse again today, do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.

Scripture: Proverbs 19:22

*********************

Well Day two is here and almost done. I've been really enjoying this so far. I'm finding myself happier, not letting "little things" get to me as much and really paying attention to my attitude. I know I'm a tough cookie to live with and I can be very critical. This dare is definitely making me reevaluate myself and take a better look at my attitude.

So today I was dared to do one unexpected act of kindness....that's a tough one...I know it sounds TERRIBLE, but my acts today were making more eye contact with my husband, being more snugly, initiating more kisses. I know most of you, if anyone reads this :), would think, "but don't you do that anyway".... well unfortunately no, I don't. I'm not a very touchy-feeling person and NEED my personal space and time alone. So purposefully making the commitment to touch, kiss and cuddle is hard for me. But I am committed to this journey and WILL step out of my comfort zone to improve my marriage.
