My husband is Wonderful

My husband is just wonderful.

I just wanted you all to know that.
Last night was not anything extra special, but we went out to dinner and talked. How does that make him wonderful you might be wondering? Well, it is the very act that he takes the time to spend with me every week. Honestly, we may miss a night here or there, but often if we miss the night, it will get moved to the next night.

Why am I posting this on this particular week? It was something he said last night. I wanted to be prepared for our day tomorrow, so I asked him if he had the shirt that he wanted (there are two white shirts in there... but I never know if that is the correct shirt... he has a pattern...but I often don't get it, they look like white shirts to me! It's just his way).

Anyway, his response was, "Of course I do, you take such good care of me".

He didn't say this with any tone; he just said it as he has said it before. He doesn't say it all the time, but when he says it, he actually means it.

This is the part where I tell you why he is so wonderful:

He is so wonderful because I try to take care of him, but get behind, overwhelmed, tired, or just lazy, but you wouldn't know it. As a general rule, he doesn't tell me the negative things I do. It would seem that he lives with blinders on at times!

So, as I was thinking about this, I wondered: does he say this just to say it or make me work harder to do what he wants done. The answer.... I have no clue. If I ask him (of course I have in the past) he simply response with all the things I am doing right which of course proves his point ;).
As I was thinking about this... I thought it probably works better than anything else. Why wouldn't I want to try to do things better? And you know, even though there are slow changes, there are changes for the better all the time.
So, why is he wonderful? Just because he loves me and makes me feel like I do everything right just for him.

I think's Jim's postive spirit needs to be contagious . . . maybe they could make a virus out of it and spread it around to everyone around this world!
