Yes, I agree with Ben. Sometimes emotional fulfillment is only what we can do for ourselves. Yesterday I went to lunch with the FooFoo Gals in my ward. We started talking about the things that were important to us and that brought us personal joy. I guess we have been coined The FooFoo Gals (by my husband lol) because we all love to create things and we feed of one another’s talents. One of my friends said that her hubby never commented on her projects even though he knows how much apart of her they are. I asked her if she placed them under his nose and said, "See, Look at what I just created"! She said well no, he knows.... I said maybe he doesn't and you need to make him see. I have recently taken up jewelry making and I look for gratification from my hubby after I have made something. What I do is stand between him and the TV and pose with the jewelry on and say, "Look at what I just made". I have been getting the same response since I started this new craft and her gives me a smile and says "Aww FANCY!". At that point I know I have gotten a touchdown!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!! We need to learn to take the people in our lives at the point they are and not try to mold them all at once
