Todays Dare Day 1
Love is Patient
the first part of this dare is fairly simple. although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. for the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. if the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. it's better to hold your tongue than to say something you'll regret.
here is the thought for journaling on this day:
did anything happen today to cause anger toward your mate? were you tempted to think disaproving thoughts and to let them come out in words?

well, this is the first day, and its already gonna be hard, I have a bad habit of not reacting the best way, and coming off negative. hopefully I can sleep on it, and with a little help from my friends get thru it with good things to say about it!
Hang in there. Remember that today's action becomes tomorrow's habit.

Blondie! THANK YOU! that is what I needed to hear! It really helps alot!
It was not so hard to not respond in anger yesterday--Scott has not contacted me since last Friday. I am hurt but am not going to be baited into reacting to it. I fought sending him an email several times, as I was worried that I would come across and hurt or angry, so I opted not to send anything.
Hey,
I read that you made it through the day yesterday. Fabulous! If you keep up the hard work it will soon be a habit and you won't even have to think about it.
have a great day.
and don't forget to breathe.

It was difficult a couple times yesterday, he had a long tow that he left work for, which meant he had to work later, teenage d16 attitude didnt help, and then when I had just pulled out dinner, his bro, gf and baby came over, he wouldnt eat while it was hot, BUT I did it!
