Today I was in a funk. This in and of itself is not earth-shattering news - everyone has their "off" days, after all. What was weird for me is that usually if I am in a funk I know why. I had a strange dream, I am stressed about an upcoming event, I'm not on good terms with someone... whatever the reason, I can usually pinpoint the reason for my less-than-cheery disposition. Today I was making a conscious effort to identify what my problem was, and ultimately came up empty.
When Ben came home this evening, I was in the same crummy mood. He asked me what was going on, and I was honest with him: I'm in a funk and I don't really know why. He responded with, "What can I do to help?" My first thought and response was a request that he make the cookies I needed for teacher gifts tomorrow that I just wasn't excited about making. As soon as the kids went to bed, he pulled out the ingredients and made my cookies for me. It was a small thing for him to do that made a huge impact on my day. I am so blessed to have a husband who is so ready and willing to help in whatever way he can to make my day better. Tonight Ben was my knight in shining (and sugary) armor.
