Sometimes we tend to let stress, worry and negative thoughts consume us. It can ruin our entire day. It can disrupt our sleep and be damaging to our relationships. We need to force ourselves to focus on the good things that are right in front of us at this very moment. Too often, we let our thoughts steal the present by thinking about the past or future. Sharing our 'happy thoughts' with others can turn a miserable day into a pleasant one.
Before my kiddies get on the school bus every morning we tell each other "Love you more than cheese!". Sound silly? Ya it does, but it brings a smile to their faces and to all those around us. My children know I LOVE CHEESE, LOVE IT and they also know I love them WAY more than that! It's our little way of bringing a smile to each others face....it's a nice way to start the day. We've expanded the "LOVE YOU MORE THAN's" to express our feelings, because each of us is different in our 'loves'.
•my son - "I love you more than ketchup on my french fries!"
•my youngest daughter - "I love you more than going to Grandma's"
•my son - "I love you more than beating the next level on my video game!"
•my oldest daughter - "I love you more than extra butter on my popcorn!"
•my husband - "I love you more than sleeping in on Saturday!"
A girlfriend and I have started doing the "LOVE YOU MORE THAN's" each and every time we email each other.
•"love you more than spandex in my jeans"
•"love you more than lipstick that stays on"
•"love you more than pantyhose that fit!"
•"love you more than having my hair shampooed at the salon"
•"love you more than my kids doing the dishes!"
I do it, they do it....and you should do it too! A smile is more beautiful than a sunset.....we share pens, flu viruses, complaints....why not a smile!
I would love to hear your "LOVE YOU MORE THAN's", let me know what they are!!
