Love Makes Good Impressions, Love is Unconditional

September 3

I hugged both of my parents when I first got up for breakfast. They didn't seem surprised at all, but really happy, and later they asked me how I was doing and actually seemed to care about my answer which is new. I also said "Aloha" to all the people I texted, which was fun. I will definitely make a point to hug people more because it usually cheers them up. Unless they're one of those weird people who hate being hugged.

Today I spent the day comforting my friend through her recent relationship issues, and I helped my parents do their laundry. I think in the past my love has been based upon the other people's behavior. It should be based more upon my commitment, because people are not always going to return my love, and I should share it with them anyway and not give up.

Today I did the dishes after dinner because I know my parents appreciate it when I help out with stuff like that. I learned that small sacrifices of my time and energy can make other people really happy.

Love Believes the Best, Love is Not Jealous

September 1

It was definitely easier to make the positive lists. I am generally an optimistic person and I don't like thinking about people's negative attributes. The people I complimented seemed kind of surprised but also happy. I definitely felt closer to the people I complimented at the end of the day, I feel like we had a sort of mutual appreciation for each other.

I burned all the negative lists which was lots of fun. I feel good about just getting rid of all that negativity and only focusing on the positive things.
I celebrated with people the good grades they got on their English papers and Calculus tests. I can encourage them by telling them how smart they are and that I believe in them.
