{"product_id":"2940151365543","title":"A Little Guide to a Big Life","description":"I struggled to find the right adjective for \u003ci\u003elife. Successful, rewarding,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ehappy\u003c\/i\u003e are a few of the better ones that came to mind, but even these are inadequate. Life is just too big.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBig.\u003c\/i\u003e That's the adjective I was looking for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI discovered after I had been married several years that my life wasn't big, it was just busy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"You used to smile whenever you saw me,\" my wife, Christina, reminded me. \"That made me feel special. But you don't smile when you see me anymore, and I miss that.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy love for Christina had grown, and she still turned heads, especially mine, so I had lots of reasons to smile. But she was right. I didn't smile as often as I used to, because I was usually thinking about my to-do list. I appreciated her gentle reminder. I made a few changes and started smiling again. We're both happier now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this little guide I share what I've learned about life, in the form of gentle reminders. You probably already know how to live a big life. If so, you don't need a big book. But perhaps some reminders would help you too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGentle Reminder #1: Smile when you see your spouse.","brand":"Wind Runner Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080536277232,"sku":"2940151365543","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151365543_p0.jpg?v=1764009496","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151365543","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
