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? (Author: Victoria Klein)

My health. Partly from working as a chaplain, and partly from hearing about far too many people from my birth year who have devastating health consequences. I am working on eating better, sleeping more regular hours, continuing to exercise, and most of all, trying to jettison the negativity that seems to permeate the world. It’s easy to be sarcastic and grumpy. It’s hard to try and keep things in perspective and not let the little things (or little people) get to me.

So I’m really grateful for a healthy body, a great family, good friends, and a warm place to sleep tonight.
