A few weeks ago, my husband came home from work and as soon as I opened the door, I could tell he was in an especially good mood. It was like he was exuding positive energy.
He had brought me home a delicious piece of baklava, and he had also stumbled upon a fantastic used-books sale, and gotten some great deals (he loves books maybe even as much as I do, which is truly incredible). So, in addition to the baklava, he'd picked out and bought a book for me. A book and baklava? Talk about knowing how to treat a girl!
He was so excited and happy about these nice things he had done for me, that I was immediately put into a enthusiastic positive mood, even before he gave them to me. His excitement and positivity just radiated into me. It was really incredible. I was amazed to see in action 1) just how true it is that our moods affect others, and 2) how doing something kind and thoughtful for someone else affects your own mood and energy level.
So, I guess I got three awesome presents that night: A book, baklava, and a happy husband who was oozing bright, shining positivity through out our home.
