i appreciate, value, cherish, prize, am grateful for, and treasure the versatility of the English language.
that being said, sometimes I worry that we get too hung up on words.
we spend too much time nitpicking, quibbling and splitting hairs.
my weekly appreciation exercise is about a philosophy, not a word.
i have no proprietary rights to appreciation.
i don't get paid a royalty every time someone expresses their appreciation.
mental health is not about fancy words, jargon, idioms, or vernacular.
it's about looking at the world in a way that brings you happiness, joy, contentment, gaiety, merriment, or whatever you're looking for.
if you want to appreciate life, that's great.
maybe gratitude is your jam (or jelly or preserves or marmalade).
whatever you call it, the most important thing is that you find value in places where others aren't even looking.
find value in your life.
find value in the world around you.
find value in yourself.
