100 Small Acts Of Love

Around my birthday (which is today 🥳) I always feel a lot of love. I’m incredibly lucky to have so much love in my life. From the love of my life, to the love of my cat, to the love of my friends, to the love for my fellow person — there is so much love in my world.

But I find that reading other people’s love stories always makes me feel even more love. A few years ago I read 100 Small Acts of Love in The NY Times. Readers wrote in to share the special ways that they show their partner love, and the unconventional ways their partner makes them feel loved.

I found many of these very touching, screenshotting a bunch to show Colleen. They were a blend of loving, interesting, or downright silly. Rather than keep them to myself I decided to share the 25 that most touched me, but of course you can read them all yourself if you’re interested in the other 75.
