I have been up since about 1:30am so I have been doing a lot of thinking and working already. My husband and I had an exhausting week and went to bed shortly after dinner. So, we both woke up and decided to get out of bed since we were wide awake. I made a pot of coffee.

At 3am this morning, I was making breakfast steaks (thin sliced t-bones) and scrambled eggs and toast with OJ and coffee. I know what you are thinking…why would you be doing that? We ate dinner at 5pm so we were hungry for one thing. Second, I saw it as an opportunity to “make memories”.

My husband is great about remembering little things I have done in the past that make him think I am an incredible woman who loves him. That is exactly my intention.

Have you ever heard anyone say, “I wish I knew then, what I know now”????? This “thought for today” deals with that phrase. You need to “make memories” as often as you can because it enhances your relationship. You would be surprized how easy it is once you start thinking about the other person.

For instance, we were burning a pine tree that was destroyed by lightning. We were out there watching the fire to make sure it stayed contained. We got our chairs and sat far enough away to not feel the heat yet close enough to keep an eye on it. I went inside to get us a bottle of water and came back with a clothes hanger and a bag of large marshmellows, too. Calvin chuckled when he saw what I was carrying. He looked like a happy kid. I will remember his face for a very long time with that silly smile as we roasted marshmellows. I am sure he will have a good memory of the day, too.

It has taken me a long time to get this idea in my head but honestly, if you do special things to make your spouse happy, you won’t regret it. You will be amazed how he/she will start doing the same thing for you. So, “make special memories”.

One year, my husband gave me one carat diamond earrings and I gave him socks. I will always remember that. LONG STORY that I won’t go into now.
