It's the little things

On Tuesdays, my wife has a shorter schedule at school and she typically gets out of class before noon. So we've started having lunch together.

I didn't realize how much I started enjoying this time with her. I was able to have conversations with her while I'm still somewhat alert and not exhausted like I am at the end of the day.

It is recently that I've learned that it's the little things that make the biggest different to my spouse. Lunch during the day, buying flowers without being asked to, little notes slipped into her lunches, etc.

I may be an old dog, but apparently, I can learn new tricks
