Practically Speaking: Week of April 15
Week of April 15, 2019
We could all use a little creativity when it comes to speaking love and appreciation to others. Here are some suggestions that will help get you started:
WORDS OF AFFIRMATION
If your friend enjoys making art (songwriting, painting, creative writing, etc.), take time to sincerely compliment his or her workmanship. Find something specific about the art that you like, and explain to them why you do.
ACTS OF SERVICE
While your spouse is working, take the extra car key (swap parking spot with your car), and drive his or her car to a car wash and gas station. Return the car to where it was, and leave a note on the car seat expressing your love.
GIFTS
If a new season of a beloved TV show is premiering, offer to gift it for your special someone on their iTunes or other media library.
QUALITY TIME
If your boyfriend or girlfriend’s dialect of Quality Time is a quality conversation, don’t bog down a date with too many things to do. Leave time unscheduled for the two of you to be still together and talk about life.
PHYSICAL TOUCH
If your children like to, let them cuddle with you as you watch TV shows, movies, or when reading a book. This will be sure to fill their little love tanks and create wonderful memories.
