the friends who know us well, know that both brian and i tend to be a little critical of people (to each other, mostly) and this is a habit that we have decided isn't the most flattering. most of our comments come out of joking, but as the saying goes "there is a bit of truth in every joke". so, we have decided to creatively stop the problem. i'm hoping that it works, and rather then cutting it cold turkey, our solution is one that will gradually aid in making us think before we speak.
how does it work? just between brian and i, when we hear something said negative about someone (anyone), we kindly say "i hear how that can be frustrating.... but tell me something good about that person" lol.... it looks so funny when i'm reading it, but it really has been working! we have been doing it going on 3 days now!
and because of my competitive spirit i must say i have only had to say one thing and it was towards brian :)
brian too, has only had me to say things nice about, and i so wish to share.
here are 4 things i know he loves about me :)
1.) i have a heart to put my family first, and always make sure that everyone in it is taken care of.
2.) i have deep blue eyes.... and there is little in life more comforting to him then looking into them. :)
3.) he thinks i am smarter then i let myself on to be at times, he is sure i understand things (example: sports) but he appreciates that i act like i don't know so that he can feel smart while explaining it to me...... this one made me laugh, cause it's very true!
4.) he has never seen someone who can multi-task as well as i can. sometimes he thinks that i couldn't have possibly done something right because i was doing 5 other things in the moment i was doing it.... he says, he will go back to make sure i got it right, and i always do!
anyways, this is our little "game/mission" that we are currently taking on, and if for nothing else, we are getting a laugh out of it..... and not at someone else's expense!
