How I made my husband smile (Aug 2010)

my dear husband, andrew, is very serious at work, i tried to ask him to 'smile' more often but ...

last week, as i was chanting, i suddenly knew of a way to make andrew smile.  i immediately took action.  whenever and wherever i see him, i give him big smiles, and big kisses.  i could see that immediately he smiles and is soo happy, and i could see him smile more often at work now.

furthermore because i am nicer and more appreciative of him, he is becoming nicer also.  sunday night, he cooked fried scallops with asparagus, scrambled eggs with prawns.  yummm.  last night he bought a mud crab and gave me half of the crab plus two claws!!!   then yesterday morning i found that he hang all the washed clothes for me.

oh by the way, andrew said i praised my children, and grandchildren but not him, therefore,  i am showing my praise and appreciation of my dear husband, with my family and friends. 

yeah, my buddhist practice tells me that the best way to change someone is to change yourself first.  its true.

cheers
