Posts Tagged ‘holiday cleanup hysteria’
This was a Saturday where I only was in face-to-face contact with my wife and kids.
Smiles were working all around. My two daughters (and youngest kids) just seem to gobble up these smiles! My very youngest girl, age 7, lights up like a Christmas tree when I give her a smile.
The other kids responded well. Even my oldest almost responded with a smile back.
My wife, as usual, smiled back. But as I mentioned, she is a natural smiler. I noticed on this day that she even smiles while talking on the phone!
My wife has been a lot cheerier as of late (not that she was not cheery before most of the time). There was not even the so-common holiday cleanup hysteria that has been so common in the past – my wife just calmly enlisted all of us to help straighten up in the evening. And the following day was to be a double whammy – Easter and my youngest son’s birthday as a combo! I think this, in itself, is significant.
