The word “appreciation” means to be thankful and express admiration, approval, or gratitude. It also means to grow or appreciate in value. As you appreciate life, you become more valuable—both to yourself and others.

What you put out comes back.

Learning how to appreciate more consistently offers many benefits and applications. Appreciation is an easy heart frequency to activate and it can help shift your perspectives quickly.

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!” _{Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free}

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” _{Thornton Wilder}

when my thankful heart rises in the morning … I feel the good that is about to unfold in my day … with my activities, my interactions, my thoughts…

no… I can’t see specifics … (all the time…lol) … though I feel what I know is always present… some thing… someone to appreciate

some activity that is being created… in ways I could never do alone…

so grateful that we are in the presence of Love and Light and it is manifesting as we are the Light … as we allow the Light…

“Make it a habit to tell people thank you.
To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.” Ralph Marston

“Joy always follows on the heels of pain. If a person escapes a mindset that current events represent an ongoing tragedy, they will encounter and comprehend all the beauty that surrounds them. We find bliss by living alertly and unequivocally accepting whatever is occurring in the present moment. If a person realizes that the present moment is all that matters, they will gain an inner stillness and appreciate the beauty and joy of each day.”
Kilroy J. Oldster
