Day 2 Bruce

I remember when Georgia and I first married, it will be 25 years the 30th of this month. In the beginning kindness seemed so natural, I would open the car door for her, tell her how much I loved her everyday and was just more aware of her needs and wants. What happened? I suppose I became too comfortable with her and begin taking her and our relationship for granted. Fortunately we purchased a van in 2001 with doors that would automatically open with the push of a button, unfortunately that button didn't work for the front doors, so unless she was sitting in the back seat, I forgot that little act of kindness of opening her door. I do open her door now, if I happen to be on the same side of the car she is fixing to get into. Now here it is a few days before Christmas, where every boy and girl should be good for goodness sake! I am working on it and do consider myself to be a kind and thoughtful person. I don't have to be told to take out the trash, clean up the kitchen after Georgia made a fantastic meal, and even those that aren't so good, and it is understood that if she cooks, I clean up and wash the dishes. She has always been my hero and I truly enjoy showing acts of kindness toward here. Sometimes I am successful and some times I just need to get out of the way. You know what I mean? One thing I have learned about our marriage is that I am a work in progress and that a simple act of kindness goes a long way to make a good day a great day. Fortunately, in my opinion, we have had a lot of great days in the 25 years we have been married.
