Can You Say It Without Words?
The shot below was taken a few days ago. I was under deadline to get some projects finished, and Heidi could tell I wasn’t wearing the pressure well.
I walked away from my desk for a breather, and when I came back I found a pile of treats. Those are some of my favorite goodies! The funny part, I don’t really ever recall telling Heidi that I like those things. She just knew, I know it seems small and insignificant but really, the little stuff is what life is made of.
Sometimes when you don’t use words, you can say many things all at once. What she was saying was pretty clear to me, “You’re important to me. I pay attention to the things you like. I want you to be happy.”
Sometimes people talk about how a marriage gets better with time. I think this is one of those instances they refer to. When you just know someone so well, a tiny gesture can change their mood.
While I’m still working on finishing the goodies, the effect was almost instant. Thanks Heidi, YOU make me happy.
