overcoming anger {day 5} find joy in your day

A few months back I picked up a copy of "The Love Dare".   I flipped through and decided to try day one.  You can read the 40 days of dares without buying the book here

Day 1 was to resolve to say nothing negative to your spouse. 

My husband did not know what I was doing but was pleasantly surprised to hear a postivive feedback, rather than the usualy negative comments he so often hears. 

I mentioned this to another woman who said what a blessing this would be for her husband.  She mentions that usually when he walks into the door at the end of the day he is baraged with reports of all the negatives that happened that day.  I do the same thing.  Think of how different it would be to greet your spouse and share the joys. 

{day 5} Enjoy the the little moments. Find a moment to rejoice in and share that with your spouse.

Good idea. my thoughts are always filled with negatives. in fact, Andrew and I were trying to talk the other night and I said...I don't have anything I want to talk about because all I can think of is how everything is going wrong in my life.

I can't wait to follow along for 31 days! Found you through the link on Nester - great topic, so many of us need but perhaps are not willing to admit!
