Day 2 of 14

OK so I have already posted how my challenge went yesterday. It felt great to just connect a little differently. Even last night, as we were crawling into bed, Jay told me how much he enjoyed me getting up and greeting him when he got home.

Challenge Day 2:
Lesson #2 - Greet your husband & give him a hug. Let him know again that you missed him or were thinking about him today. Again, this is secondary to what you are really feeling. Just do it. If he says something like, "Wow, two days in a row. Do you want money or something"? Ignore it. He is saying this to you because he is noticing your actions & they feel good to him. What may feel like sarcasm to you is playful bantering to him. After you hug him, leave the room. Don't allow for a conversation about your new behavior. This isn't a game, we are just trying to avoid getting into a discussion of unresolved issues that you are not equipped to handle just yet.

OK well this challenge may be a little harder seeing as my husband is out of town for work. I will try to think of something though to make him feel special and that I appreciate him and all of his hard work.
