Lucky Me
 I put together a list of some of the things that I appreciate, more or less in the order that it came to me. It was a remarkably restorative exercise. It is surprising how much happier I am for just taking a few minutes here and there to think about the many things that there are to appreciate and to look forward to. 
 With much appreciation…
