i've appreciated small things (punctuation marks)
and big things (friendship)
and all things in between, from knees to hotel beds and tree limbs.
honestly, and foolishly, I thought it would be easier.
how hard is it to appreciate my embarrassment of riches?
a cozy couch to sit on
and big windows to look out of
with a lovely view of trees and neighbors.
as it turns out,
some days appreciation is hard.
appreciating what you have takes constant work
and deliberate reminders.
there is no muscle memory
or autopilot.
if you want to bring more appreciation into your life,
or gratitude,
or thankfulness,
whatever works for you,
be ready to do the work.
and know that I appreciate your effort.
but more than that...
appreciate yourself.
