December 14 – Appreciate
What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it?

What I came to appreciate most this year is mutual love. You can have it with friends or your children or a dog or a congregation or even, if a bird or other creature is very fortunate, with one special person (just so you'll know I haven't give up on that idea completely).
When love flows freely back and forth, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
I express gratitude for mutual love by affirming it in words (both aloud and in writing) and by thanking God for it and by doing my part to keep it flowing. I believe that last [art requires equal parts of activity and attention and awareness and awe.
In the end, though this was a hard, hard year, I've never been so aware of being loved in my whole life. And I truly appreciate it.
Very life-giving…I like!
being loved like that, in any of its manifestations, is indeed something to appreciate…(hard year, indeed!)…
Love this… and you. 🙂
