Love Notes

I like to give JR a little love note every now and then. Usually it says something like "You're purrrrfect" with a little cat, or a sheep saying "I love Ewe". Sometimes it's just a picture of myself I found. I gave these to him alot when we were first married, now I do it less.

It's always been really rare for JR to give me a note like this, possibly never. That dosen't bother me at all, because men express their love differently than women. His manly equivilant to love notes are things like starting the bath for me, bringing me a sample of something from the grocery store, or mixing my health drink for me before I go to bed.

I've been feeling a little under-appreciated lately. I don't mind posting this in my blog, because I know by the time JR gets to reading this, that feeling will be gone. The reason I can say this, is because I am the one who chooses how I feel. It's not in the control of the rest of the world.

If I want to feel appreciated, I need to make sure he knows that I'm grateful for him. That's it. Also, I need to pay attention to the thankfulness he shows in his 'man' behavior. It's not going to come in a love note, because I did not marry myself.

So perhaps my negative feeling came from what I admitted at the outset. I haven't drawn anything for him in a while. This is something that is quickly remedied.
