Today, the first month of my Happiness Project is officially over. This month was to work on being more positive. Hmmmmm. Of the thirty-one days in the month, this is the number of times I gave a positive comment to each member of my family:
Andy: 12 (...!!!...)
Me: 14
Ethan: 21
Olivia: 19
I was SO surprised to find out that Andy got the least amount of comments! YIKES! I thought I was in last place for sure! I feel so bad about this. I figured the kids would get the most because I'm around them the most but it gives me a new perspective on my relationship with my husband! After being married for over ten years, I think I've become lazy in my communication with him. My greatest lesson this month: Don't take your husband for granted. He's still a human being trying to do the best he can and he needs a few words of encouragement. WOW! I'm really glad this month is over. Next month will be more hands-on. I'm looking forward to that. I feel a bit ashamed and embarrassed over the results of this month. I might have to put it back in the cycle for another try. It was a difficult one to start off with. I'll be announcing my new resolution for August tomorrow! Cheers!
