My wife had a bad day one dayโ€ฆactually a rather recent dayโ€ฆand I did something no sane husband would do..

I told her that I was not gonna ask her to smileโ€ฆ

Instead, I wrote to herโ€ฆ

More specifically, this is what I wrote and sent, in an email (because Iโ€™m 5,000 miles away at the moment) and she/we loved it so much I thought you would find something in this too.

************** now Iโ€™m typing THE letter **************

Good morning sunshine.

I know yesterday brought some tough nuggets and maybe, perhaps for a bit, you asked the simple questionโ€ฆ

โ€œWhy am I even doing this?โ€ โ€ฆ

Maybe even added a wicked loud and angryโ€ฆ

โ€WTF!!!โ€โ€ฆ

Some days are like that.

Some days are not.

On the days that theyโ€™re notโ€ฆwhen things click and fall into placeโ€ฆitโ€™s super easy to smile.
