Imagine a peaceful relaxing day.  That’s probably about as good as it gets most days, right? Imagining.  On a typical day we run around, running errands, going to work, picking up and dropping off kids for school and practice, making dinner, cleaning the house and feeling tired.  But at the same time, I wonder if we have more free time than we think we do.  One woman decided to take advantage of her free time and read a book a day for year. She’s on day 350.  Now, I’ll admit that she has some advantages like being well off and not having a full time job, but she says she still finds time to read as she waits to pick up the kids, in between chores, or even at night before bed.  I know that I’ve wished lately that I could read more.  Maybe I just need to make the time.

Recently, I’ve seen a lot of articles and series on improving something over 30 or so days.  “31 Days to a Better Blog” or “30 Days to a Better Man” are a few that I’ve seen.  And it got me thinking about what I could do for 30 days.  So I decided I would embark on a personal challenge: “30 days to being a better husband.”  The challenge I laid out for myself was this: for 30 days, I was going to serve my wife and try to be a better husband by doing something different and special for her each day.  I chronicled each day of the project in a blog online.  Yesterday was the last day of my experiment, so this morning, I emailed the link for the blog to my wife, to let her know what I’d been secretly working on for the last month.  It was definitely a challenge, but it was also fun and an chance to learn more about my wife, and myself.

So now, I’m going to throw down the gauntlet and challenge you.  Set aside 30 days and come up with something special to do for him or her each day.  And then, if you want, let me know how it goes.

No matter who you are, you’ve got a list of things that drive you nuts. Some call them pet peeves. And some of the worst are the words or phrases you just can’t stand. When someone uses those words or phrases in conversation continually, you want to run away and talk to someone else. They did another survey this year to determine what, overall, are the most annoying words and phrases. The answer this year? ‘Whatever.’ So which words or phrases drive you nuts?
