Love Dare # 2

First let me start by commenting on the last dare. It took me two days to accomplish it! Dance class was fun, but if anyone reading this knows Jason, then you know what kind of mouth he has on him!!! He was just joking but he was saying dancing is stupid. Now i KNOW he was just joking (and he secretly likes to dance;-), but i have had TONS of practice giving him smart remarks right back when he says these kinds of things, NOT GOOD!!! So the first day was difficult to say the least!!! There were so many times he would say something and i couldnt stop myself before a smart answer came out! But after a day I started to get the hang of it! He even asked me what my next dare is (he is really enjoying this!!) I told him i couldnt move on to the next one until i had 100% completed the first one and check it off! So last night we went out and I did great! Every time i had a negative thought or comment I kept it to myself! I didnt really want to be out in the first place and i even told him so, but not in the nasty way, like i normally would, I just told him i wanted to get to bed at a decent time. He noticed i was getting tired and after about an hour and a half suggested we leave!!! I was amazed!! He is picking up the POSITIVE vibes instead of the negatives ones and i noticed it changed the way he was interacting with ME!! This is encouraging! Even if jason doesnt read the book its exciting to think i can help change our relationship for the better just by changing me!!! Not changing who i am, but changing my negative attitude!

Now, onto the second dare!

Lesson 2:
Love is kind

The Dare:
In addition to saying nothing negative, do at least one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness.


I know, this sounds really easy right? but I have no idea what to do!!! Last night i made him his favorate dinner (cashew chicken) so now im stumped!!! We also get the kids tonight and ususally dont do much. Ill have to think about this one really hard! Wish me luck
