Appreciating what you have


Do we appreciate what we have?
I woke up Sunday morning, turned my head on the pillow and looked at my husband sleeping next to me thinking - I love this guy, even after 20 years he still makes me feel save, loved and wanted. Appreciate him, I tell myself.
I get up and walk down the passage and saw my daughter sitting in the study - I love her so much my heart wants to burst!
Appreciate her, I tell myself.
Sitting at the kitchen table later, I look around and once again feel the warmth of my home and the comfort that surrounds me.
Appreciate it, I tell myself.
So once again, like so many times before, I am going to put an effort in to appreciate all I have.
