Soooo many positives! I think the e-mail to H is great Been toying with doing something similar myself but find that little smidgeon of fear that H won't really appreciate it hiding in the back of my head
I apologize for not stopping by for awhile...sometimes I get preoccupied

zoo - thanks darlin for the visit. i know how hard it can be to get to everyone's thread on a regular basis, piecing has gotten so FULL lately! thanks for the kudos on the note!
deb - oh deb, yes, i understand your point completely. i have to count my blessings - and the mere fact that hubby is at home is enough for now. thank you so much for bringing me some sense
mal - thank you SO MUCH for the visit - i thought long and hard about what you had done the other night with the ow thinking if i could do the same. ugh, that is a hard one, but true forgiveness has to take over sometime and i have to let go
bill - national friendship day? didnt even know it. yeah, thought long and hard last night about what i would write about today, and something came up, so in a little while i will be posting today's letter - thanks for the visit

POSITIVES
1) cooked dinner again together last night - he makes this incredible crab salad, yum yum - raved about it all night
2) he has started a new online biz (side money) and yesterday he had his first orders, and he was ultra excited, and i was so happy to see him excited about something again. usually i would be "well - we need to do this and this" but this time all i said was, if there is anything you need for me to do to help you, you just let me know - big 180 for me
3) well - he woke up this morning and wanted me to help get some of the orders out!!! he kept asking for my help with this and that and the other - felt good to drop the rope and let him lead!!! WOOHOO - i am learning!!!
pnb - thanks darlin! coming from a vet that means alot!
water - thank you for visiting, and for the kudos on dropping the rope thing. i can't believe how good it feels!!!

here is my letter for today ...
it was very enjoyable last night to watch you be excited about your new "online biz" and to get orders right away was a bonus i am sure you were not expecting!
i wish you all the success that you deserve in this endeavor of yours
i also wanted you to know that your crab salad last night was DA BOMB - and watching the movie while we were eating was a special treat
i don't think i have ever mentioned to you before how much i really enjoy cooking with you. it's been really fun recently to share that experience with you.
kitti, Kudos for coming up with a nifty medium to catch him doing it right. Hope he takes to it.
You could also do little "one-liners" to achieve the goal of boosting his PMA for the day ... give him something to smile about ... be a sprig of sunshine that brightens up his day ... speaking of Sunshine, Pam could give some pointers. Was thinking along the lines of ...
"Today I'm walking around with a big smile on my face ... and it dawned on me it's because I'm thinking of you."
Now I'm feeling like "Cyrano" knock-off, I think you get the idea.
... and congrats on your H's new on-line business. Sounds like a reason to pop the bubblely (sp?) and toast to his and the business success!!
