Love Dare

As was previously mentioned here I am doing the love dare. I started this yesterday. I have written the dare myself. Hopefully this will be a good exercise to start living my life more selflessly.

My dare was:

Day 1: Do something that will make him smile today. Whether it is a note or something you do. Make sure he is uplifted in someway.

I got out window markers and wrote on our sliding glass door a small love note to Christian. My son decided to join in the fun and soon the window was covered with drawings and words of love.

I tried to be more mindful of what would make Christian happy the whole day. I was not perfect, but we did activities that normally would not have joined in on. We threw a football back and forth and laughed. I have not felt that happy in while. It was truly fun to see him so happy.

I am working on today's dare and hope to have some good things to report. :)
