I am most grateful about...

It's the small stuff...sure a big gesture warrants gratefulness, but to me, the everyday small stuff is more meaningful. It is a constant influx of efforts other people do to make you happy.

I realized this today as I was talking to my husband about an upcoming trip we're planning. We are both very laid back and adventurous, we both work from home and we rarely do fancy stuff. But one of the shortlist items for this trip is having High Tea in London. I've been going back and forth between a fancy Tea Room, like Café Royal or the Ritz, or a Thames Tea Cruise (suggestions are welcome!). Anywho, I asked my husband about it this morning...also explaining that we would probably need to dress up for it - I mentioned that the Ritz requests jacket and tie and both Café Royal and Bateaux are smart casual. I was totally expecting him to tell me to ditch the High Tea but instead he put on his thinking face and the first thing he said was "we need to figure out where to rent a jacket while we're there" :O I was totally stumped! He is willing to figure out where to rent a jacket in another country just to please me.

When he saw my face, he explained that I was willing to spend a full day doing nothing while he took a specialty driving lesson in one of the speedways. My answer was of course, I don't mind as long as he has fun. He was like So there!

So yes, we'd do anything for each other as long as it makes us happy - the everyday small stuff that put smiles on our faces - that's what I'm most grateful about.
