I'm going to dig it up with my trowel of owning. That's the only way that he'll have open ears. Thanks for letting me be corny--the metaphor helps!

We would all be better off practicing daily 'acts of kindness' for our loved ones .....a 'Love you!' sticky note on the frig or bathroom mirror, a surprise ecard 'just cause', refilling ones drink without being asked, compliments on how great they look today, or a spontaneous foot rub are all ways of expressing our Love and Gratitude.

I just never looked at my relationship that way. Those little things do definitely add up and make clutter or maybe even muddy the water. It's difficult to see the good, when vision is blurred by anger, disappointment, or frustration. Talking about those small things - at the time they happen (if possible) - sure keeps the water calm and clear! Funny you should call them ‘little things’, Joel, as that’s pretty much what I’m about.
