May. 24th, 2012 02:32 pmIt is my husband's birthday today.
He makes me smile.
One thing he's been doing today that I really admire:
You know the "Happy Birthday" barrage one gets on Facebook when it is one's birthday. Today he is making an effort to thank each person personally. Not just a blanket "Thanks for all the birthday wishes!", although there is nothing wrong with that. Not just a "like" on each message, although that is nice, too.
He's been trying to respond personally to each one, saying their name and also starting a little bit of polite chit-chat with each one. "Thanks, so-and-so! Hope to see you at the cabin this year!" "Thanks, friend! Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend!" "Thanks, other friend! We should go tubing this summer!" Nothing big and earth shattering, but it warms my heart and makes me smile.
It's little things like that that remind me of why he is my husband. :)
