Encouragement

I forgot to mention one of the best parts of the weekend! So, Justin knows that I've been dealing with some serious anxiety lately over work, being sick, and trying to figure out how to pay thousands of dollars worth of medical bills. However, Justin really doesn't worry about anything, ever, so sometimes he has a hard time knowing how to comfort me when I'm upset because he can't relate at all, and sometimes I get frustrated with him because I feel like he can be dismissive of my feelings because he doesn't relate.

Anyway, while at dinner on our way up to Portland Saturday night, Justin slipped me part of a napkin that he had written the following on:

Don't worry. Everything will be GREAT! And remember, I love you, no matter what.

I've been carrying the torn-off piece of napkin around in my purse ever since. It's a small gesture, but really means a lot to me, and gave me a lot of encouragement!

  1. It's so great to have supportive husbands, even if they don't always understand! I know exactly what that's like! :-)

  5. I really love their handwriting too...looking at it makes you somehow feel closer to them, and comforted. I cherish little things like that. :D You should have him write down the recipe for your delicious smoothie--that'd be a keeper! Hehe!
