Make eye contact

So many times, we get caught up in our day to day “stuff”, and forget to really give attention to each other. Acknowledge each other now by looking into each other’s eyes for a full 30 seconds. Don’t try to send any messages or do anything more than that. If you want to laugh, laugh. If you want to smile, smile. Enjoy giving and receiving attention. The eyes are the windows to the soul.
