What Are 3 Things...

We have started a new ritual in the Raker house. While reading in one of my magazines, I came across this tip. I don't remember exactly what it was a tip for (stress relief, happiness, sleep) but I do remember thinking it was an awesome idea. So much so that we've implemented it. While Daddy J and I are lying in bed we ask each other "What are 3 things that made you smile today?" Inevitably, when someone asks you this, you immediately smile. Guaranteed. As time goes on we will likely use this as a family conversation starter at dinner every evening. That brings a smile to my face. So, feel free to steal this fabulous idea. I did.

Here are some of the things we have mentioned since we began a few days ago:
  •  both of us have mentioned Doodle (formerly known as Baby J) at least once every night
  • Daddy J brought me home dinner last night from work, WITH a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie
  • Texting with Kameron, WHO CAME HOME HOME MONDAY
  • listening to and watching our cats play with their new toy mice
Have a go at it. You won't be disappointed. What 3 things made you smile today?
