I have started a daily journal of reasons I’m thankful for my wife. There really aren’t any rules for it, but the general idea is that I will find some reason to be thankful for my wife every day. I then write some backstory for what made me think of the reason so that I’ll be able to look back over the list at the end of the year and remember specific moments that made me realize how lucky I am to have my wife.
I actually got this idea from my wife who, unknown to me, started a journal of things I did that made her thankful. I don’t know whether we can really become different people, but I do think that so much of who we are is determined by the small conscious decisions we make on a daily basis. I want to be a better husband to my wife each day. I believe this journal is one way to help me achieve that goal.
