Alright, the dare today was to remain positive in my statements toward Kendra and to buy something that reminded me of her or showed her that I was thinking about her. I pondered this all day at work and even shared with her that I was going to purchase something for her. She gave me a hint about what she would like. In the end we went as a family to Costco and did some shopping. Normally I would like to purchase her something exotic or rare (ok, not really), but today I was compelled to get her some all natural nuts....the gift that really says love. While this may not seem like a very loving gift to some, when I presented her with the nuts and explained why I wanted her to have them she simple said "the meaning behind the nuts is what matters." The reading for today focused on not being selfish, and I can attest that it helps to think less about myself when I am focused on serving her and finding a tangible way to express it. It's a great reminder that I can take anything in my life and make it special if I present it in such a way that the receiver of the gift understands why it is special to me.
Plus on our date night we can take a snack to share together...nuts!
