A Mother’s Day Surprise

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the men in your life anticipated your needs and surprised you with what made you happy?

Well, I had an experience during Mother’s Day, and the happiness it brought me comes directly from what I learned during the Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women workshop. I’ll say more about that shortly, but first please read on.

Our new Nyack home has front and back porches, and we found some great second-hand outdoor chairs at the Nyack street fair a couple of weeks ago. What we didn’t have was a table for the back so we could entertain and enjoy food and drinks. Michael knew I wanted the table, we talked about where we might get the table, but we never discussed actually going out and buying it.

On Friday before Mother’s Day, I looked out onto the porch and saw the perfect outdoor table, all assembled and sitting among our chairs. Wow, now we were set for entertaining my parents outdoors on Sunday. That table made me happy, and I let Michael know.

Sunday came, and Michael made it clear that all he wanted me to do was set out the hors d’oeuvres; he would handle preparing, cooking and serving the meal. (He also cleans up after himself in the kitchen.) My services wouldn’t be needed, so I would have uninterrupted time with my parents, my older sister and her two daughters.

What Michael provided for me last Sunday was priceless. My father is 88 and my mother 80. The time I spend with them is precious. He gave me the gifts of the table and his time in the kitchen because he knew they would make me happy. That’s all our men want for us, to make us happy. Too bad many of us don’t let them know how, or appreciate them after they do.

Better communication, more satisfaction and happiness from men is available from the Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women workshop. The workshop provides you with simple information, tested and proven by thousands of women, that will help get you what you what you need from men. This information will help you effectively communicate to men what would make you happy.
