Anyone who knows me well, knows of my addiction to diet coke.
I could easily go a whole week without any solid foods so long as I have a can of diet coke in hand. It’s my breakfast of choice (just ask my new co-workers!) and my favourite midnight snack. Give it to me intravenously and I’d be set.
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m barely holding it together these days and I’m extremely vulnerable at the moment and even the slightest thing to disrupt my equilibrium can easily send me spiraling; yesterday evening when I arrived home from yet another stressful and overwhelming day at work was no exception.
Rich could see I was near tears and when I realized that I had only one can of diet coke left I reached my limit.
Right after dinner Rich ran to the grocery store to get me some more.
In the over 30 years Rich and I have been together (we will be married 28 years come this May), it’s never been about the grand gestures, it’s always been about the thoughtful, small acts of affection and daily affirmations that continue to remind me how loved and needed I truly am.
It’s these small gestures we do for our loved ones that increase empathy, a sense of security, wellbeing, appreciation and kindness that often mean the most.
A gentle reminder…
Those little things,
Those little moments;
They really aren’t so little 😍
