If I want to make my life brighter, all I have to do is bust out the appreciation. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the mood for it or not. Appreciation works no matter how I’m feeling. First I find things to appreciate in my immediate environment. My chair, my socks, my breath. Then I branch out to bigger things. My mind, my friends, my vocation. Appreciation lights up what’s already there and makes it shine.
