Appreciation…

Such a simple word and yet easier said than done. How often do we really go without really deeply appreciating the gifts we have? The people we have chosen to surround ourselves with and share our lives with? With as much effort it really takes to tell someone you love them, reach out and say hi, smile, or simply say thank you. Real appreciation does not cost a thing. Without appreciation for the items we have and people in our lives, the gifts are unfulfilling. Do not take your loved ones for granted, know they are a gift of life and don’t be afraid to tell them. Remember people come and people go. It is up to us to appreciate the TIME we have with each one of them. Try not to walk away with anger, resentments, or hurt feelings. Treat every moment like it is the last. It feels better! Appreciate the things you have worked hard for. Congratulate yourself for the accomplishments and achievements! Be thankful for the gifts you receive and remember someone thought of you. It feels better. Life is full of daily choices, choose happiness! Remember the energy it takes to be angry and unhappy is exhausting and draining. Thankful energy is fulfilling!
