I really like this new tradition. I like it because it's fun, but also because it's something I thought of while with Dale, and not something that was only ours as a kid and we're trying to make fit into our new life together.
For those of you who didn't see the starting tree I'll re-explain. I put up a trunk and branches then added things I was grateful for on post-it notes as leaves. We ended up cutting the green stickies in half so they might take up less space and look more like leaves. I stuck to my goal of 5 leaves per day, and Dale participated often.
During a month where I was just adjusting to an unexpected bout of renewed unemployment, this was a really nice habit to practice, especially in the holiday month of Thanksgiving. Dale and I really do have a lot! Most posts centered around little services and expressions of love to eachother, the bounty with our apartment, cars, income, family communication, ward support, and of course food that I get to buy, look at, cook, eat, and enjoy in every way. (I really love everything involved with cooking). I kindof wish I got to do it every month with a new holiday...
