Okay, so today I decided to really show my boyfriend how much I appreciate him. I’ve been feeling like I haven’t been expressing it enough lately, so I wanted to do something special. Just a heads-up, I’m not a super crafty person or a poet, but I figured it’s the thought that counts, right?
Brainstorming & Planning
First, I brainstormed a bunch of ideas. I thought about what he really likes, what makes him smile, and what kind of things he appreciates. I made a list of things I Love about him:
- His sense of humor
- How supportive he is
- His kindness
- The way he always makes me feel safe
- His great hugs!
Crafting the Message
Then, I grabbed a piece of paper, and tried to be sincere and not make it overly mushy. I wanted it to sound like me, you know?
I started by telling him straight up that I appreciate him. Then I added in some specifics from my list. I mentioned how much I value his support and how his jokes always make my day better.I included a inside joke or two to make it personal.
Delivery & His Reaction!
I decided I give it in person, so I waited for him when he finish the work. I left the message where I knew he’d find it. It was so simple, but it felt good to finally express those feelings.
He found the note and gave me the biggest hug. He said it was so touching and sweet. He was totally surprised! It totally made his day, and honestly, it made mine too. I’m so glad to see he is so happy, it worths all my day.
So, yeah, that’s my little appreciation project for the day. It wasn’t anything fancy, but it was real. And it definitely brought us a little closer. Mission accomplished!
