5,6,7,8.. Who & What do we appreciate?

As the Holidays wind to a close this year, I have been thinking of all the people and things in my life that I appreciate.

Have you ever done that?.. just realize how lucky we all are to have people (and animals) who love us and ‘things’ that bring us pleasure.

I decided right then and there to list all my ‘appreciates’.

What I created was a list that is endless. Each time I think it’s complete, I think of something else! Here’s a small sampling of my ‘appreciates’

My Husband. for his acceptance and love & his uncanny ability to make me laugh.. even after 20 years of marriage.
My sisters. for their enduring love and friendship; the ones who know all my secrets.
Kitty Button. for her affection, (she’s sitting on my lap as I write this) her craziness and cuteness.
My Jewelry Studio. for the continuous pleasure it brings me as I have the space to design and create new pieces.
Morning Coffee. for it’s aroma and taste. And for my quiet time to start my day
My friends. for their willingness to share their lives with me. for the fun we have.
Books. for my pleasure in being swallowed up in a great story. For the excitement in finding a new author to read
My Clients and Customers. for their loyalty, trust and energy. Many have become friends.
My Social Media Friends. for the lost and new connections I have experienced over the last several years.

What about you?

I encourage you to take the time today to reflect on your ‘appreciates’? It will warm your heart & get your day moving in the best possible direction.
