How Do I Love You? Let me count the days.
[an excerpt from “How Do I Love You? Let me count the days.”]
Jamie Davis Smith
Each night I ask my children and husband to tell me their favorite thing about the day. Sometimes the answer is something predicable, like getting ice cream, and it is wonderful to see their faces light-up reliving the experience. More often the answer is something simple and sweet, like having come home from work to join a game in progress or cuddling with Daddy at bedtime, reminding us all that there is great joy in everyday activities. But, no matter what the answer to the question is, reflecting together about the day about to come to a close helps us connect and understand better what brings each of us happiness.
Idea #19:
during one of your connecting moments today (dinner, bedtime, carpool, etc) ask each person the question,“what was your favorite thing about today?”
