Now you know how it feels

How do you feel today? Originally uploaded by sapaho A while back a wife posted of how she felt neglected by the time her husband spent on the computer and most particular on the social networking sites. Time passes and the shoe is on the other foot. Now the husband is feeling neglected by her computer use. Her response: now you know how it feels. Now were going to play a little game. It is called "what happens next". There are two possible responses for the husband to make. Option 1: Realizing how his wife feels, the husbands commits himself to not neglecting his wife and to make it up to her. Option 2: Realizing that his wife his wife is a hypocrite for doing the exact thing that makes her feel neglected, the husband now feels both neglected and betrayed. Although he doesn't think about it, he will at some future time "let her know how it feels" as well. If you choose option 1, then I hope you enjoy your romance novel life. Option 2 is normal response.

Letterboxing

Similar to geocaching is a pastime called letter boxing: Letterboxing North America - Getting Started : "Letterboxing is an intriguing “treasure hunt” style outdoor activity. Letterboxers hide small, weatherproof boxes in publicly-accessible places (like parks) and post clues to finding the box online on one of several Web sites. However, clues to finding some of the most highly-sought boxes are passed around by word of mouth. There are about 20,000 letterboxes hidden in North America alone. Individual letterboxes usually contain a log book, an often hand-carved rubber stamp and may contain an ink pad. Finders make an imprint of the letterbox's stamp on their personal log book, and leave an imprint of their personal stamp on the letterbox's logbook ." You don't need a GPS, just the ability to follow clues. Also, you create your own unique rubber stamp that allows you to sign the log books. I know my kids will love doing this.

The Sound of Romance

I subscribe to All-Pro Dad and an article on the Sound of Romance came the other day and it is worth sharing: "How's this for romancing your wife... do you have a song that you specifically remember her by? It could be a song that was playing when you first saw her or the song you two first danced to. There's no doubt that music plays a special role in all of our lives and this is especially true in our marriages. So why not purchase the song online, download it and play it for her tonight... perhaps even invite her for a dance. What a wonderful way to let her know how special she is to you." Music has such a powerful way of touching the soul that simple words can't. It speaks to the emotions rather than to the reason.
