Say something good. Do something special.

Tristan and I have been watching a series called "The Vow". It's a series about marriage and what vows really mean and how seriously they are to be taken. This week the speaker said something that I think can be applied to all of our relationships, not just romantic ones. He said "If you think something good, say it. If you think something special, do it." I find myself missing certain people, or wanting to write letters or send care packages, many times without ever actually making the time to do it. I know the reasons why I care about my family and friends, but I don't actually take the time to tell them. This week I've been trying his approach. If you miss someone, tell them. If you think of a reason why you care about someone, tell them. If you think of a special way to show a person you care, do it. We judge ourselves by our intentions, but we judge others by their actions. Intentions are great, but if they are never carried out we leave room for misunderstanding. Don't leave words unsaid, or acts of kindness undone. Speak up. Act now.

Say something good. Do something special.
