Take time to appreciate

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Do you appreciate every single day? Do you appreciate all you have done to make your life better, to find happiness, to be healthy? You need to.

There are so many important things in life to appreciate. Today is a magnificent day here in Minneapolis. It is beautiful, the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and we just got rain, so everything is becoming gloriously green.

I went to the gym and swam, and saw a sign that the pool will be closed for two weeks. I was a little mad, but realized how much this one pool has given me, how important it is to me, and I realize that it is really cool that I don't want to live without it for two weeks. I have already looked up the closest YMCA with an open pool, and I am going to use it. I appreciate the heck out of that pool, and what it has given me this past year.

Appreciate your family today. Appreciate how important they are, and how wonderful your children are. Appreciate your friends and neighbors.

Appreciate you.

Spark on.
