Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Smile


--by SavannahCaceres, posted Mar 29, 2015
I was actually having a not so great day today. I've been having some pain issues with my neck and shoulder. Just some weird thing that pops up now and then.(I hadn't mentioned the pain/discomfort to my husband.)

But today I was aggravated with my spouse. Feeling ignored etc. (I'm thinking it could be due to being off of work for two months now.) I was weepy and just not having a very good day.

My spouse went to the grocery store this afternoon. I went into the kitchen and put away the items from the store. Still weepy and defensive.

I walk into the living room and there, on the spot where I usually sit, was a neck pillow with heat and vibration for neck pain. This made me smile.

It's so funny how perception is reality. Sometimes its the wrong reality. This made me remember all of the times my spouse has been giving and thoughtful. I need to remind myself that there are times when my POV can be so lopsided that I cant get out of my own way. :)

My husband may not be a hugger or bring me roses, but he is such a giving, caring, thoughtful man on a daily basis and it's beautiful to see! Hoping you feel better soon and always remember "the small blessings" in life!
