Tiny Change # 48: Write a letter of appreciation to your significant other or a friend

I take my husband for granted too often. I forget to thank him for the little things he does, like filling my car up with gas, fixing my computer, tuning up the cars, taking care of the mowing and snowblowing, and all the other things he does for me and our family.

This past Sunday I woke up to French toast and bacon he was cooking. He did the dishes. He lit the bedroom up with candles. And he took my to a restaurant for lunch he knew I would like to eat at, even though he didn't care for it.

Have you ever fallen into the trap of , "Well, I do this, this and that and they never say thank you. Why should I?" If you play marriage or friendship as a contest, you will lose. Open your heart back up to see the blessings of your relationship. Share them. Grow closer together.

What does your spouse do for you, that often goes unnoticed by you? Or if you aren't married, do you have a friend that has been there for you and you would like to appreciate?

Writing down your thoughts, feelings and appreciation may be easier to do than saying them. Write a loving letter of appreciation. And keep an eye out for where you can say thanks, throughout the year.
