unedited for 100 days. Day 23

My husband does a lot of cute things and I would be willing to guess that his love language is, acts of kindness. I never read the book, The Five Love Languages, but everyone refers to it often enough that I feel like I understand the basic concept. I can equally guess that my love language is words of affirmation. Is that even one of them? I don't know, if it's not it should be. I do know however that acts of kindness is one of them and that is one hundred percent my husband. I'm sure he knows that he has created somewhat of  monster. I'd rather ask him for glass of water than get my own because he will choose the perfect glass, slice some lemon wedges and garnish it with fresh mint. My version of a glass of water is just that. A glass with water in it. He loves the details though- and he loves for things to feel special. When I was pregnant he would flavor my sparking water with bitters and serve it in a wine glass, taking the time to make sure that my refill was ready before my glass was close to empty. It goes beyond beverages and food. Just last night I commented that my feet were cold. He could have just thrown me a pair of socks from the drawer that he was standing next to, but instead he took the time blow hot air into each sock before he perfectly placed them on my feet. I laughed out loud as I thought to myself, he knows how to live. If you are going to do it, do it right! He constantly reminds me, just by being him, that I could return the favor more often. I learned years ago that he loves it when I roll the toothpaste tube so that it's always full towards the opening. Love doesn't need to be a grand gesture every time. These kinds of daily details and efforts can change the way you feel about yourself and your loved ones. I like knowing that when he sees that tube of toothpaste perfectly pressed, he feels loved and he knows that although I could care less about it, I did it for him. If you want an inspirational song on the topic, listen to "Little Things" by India Arie. Happy Friday!
