Day 2 - Love is kind

In addition to saying nothing negative to my husband, I was supposed to do one unexpected gesture as an act of kindness. 

What discoveries about love did you make today?

It felt good to be genuinely asking if I could take something off his plate, but I know it would have felt better to have done something nice for him rather than just offer. 

What specifically did you do in this dare?

My gesture of kindness was to offer to take our son to his basketball games because my husband was saying how great it would be to stay inside on this cold and wintery day. He was cozy and seemed tired and so I offered. He declined.

How did you show kindness?

Ok, so, again, I am feeling a little thwarted. I perceive myself as a kind person, and in fact, make a conserted effort to be thoughtful and kind in all of my relationships. This might be misconstrued as arrogance, and it might be, but so far, I'm not swaying too far out of my comfort zone.

So, we'll have to see what Day 3 brings.
