When I was first given the suggestion that I try finding appreciation for even the smallest things in my life, I laughed.
I also realized I wanted to have joy and find happiness in life so I started to work at saying thank you for the basics in my life.
Admittedly I started this process with selfish intentions therefore I got nothing out of it but more frustration.
When I finally set a pure intention of wanting to create joy and happiness that I might treat others well the change started.
I have developed true appreciation for the amazing creation in which I live as well as for all the other beings I get to experience.
I enjoy my home, wife, family, friends, jobs, other drivers, and even myself.
I have moved from frustration, annoyance, anger and fear into peace, joy, and happiness.
Simple statements of appreciation can create amazing changes in your life.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of appreciation today.
You are Love and Loved.
