The "I APPRECIATE" thread...

What all do you appreciate? People, places, things, animals, objects etc. (Other than this board)

- I appreciate my best friend. He's always there for me and I love him to death.

- I of course appreciate my parents. They've been a big support system in my life.

- I appreciate the weather here in L.A.

- I appreciate when I get a text message. Lets me know I'm on someones mind.

What do you appreciate?

 

I appreciate flying free.

I appreciate my husband.

I appreciate the cool/cold weather we have had lately.

I appreciate my close girlfriends.

 

That's something definitely worth appreciating.

I appreciate water (Besides bathing in it, I love drinking it) and I especially love watching it (the beach).

I appreciate the view from my 3rd floor apartment. I can see Downtown and on a clear day, it looks almost postcard like. I also like when I can see the sunrise and the horizon.

 

I appreciate:

-my freedom
-my healthy
-my friends
-my mom, for sure and always
-my possibilities

I appreciate that my Ex pays his child support
I appreciate the 4 top of the list girlfriends I have.
I appreciate the fact that most people in my life know to not ever call me in the mornings.
I appreciate a great belly laugh.

 

I appreciate my daughter who brings light into my life every second of every day.

I appreciate that I feel like laughing most days.

I appreciate that I can see both sides of things.

I appreciate the people who have taken the opportunity to get to know the real me and like me for who I am.

I appreciate the people who give me support (unfortunately, that's usually not my family).

I appreciate this board (even though there have been many days that I feel like never logging back in) and the friends I've made on here.

 

I appreciate:

- People who have an opinion that's actually based on something other than 'because that's what I've heard', or 'that's what everyone else says'

- My grandfather for teaching me a whole bunch of useless stuff that turned out to be really handy to know, for convincing me there's nothing I can't do if I set my mind to it, and for loving me enough that it more than made up for the people who didn't

- My kids for making me laugh every day, for personifying hope and all things good, and for thinking I'm invincible

- People who tell me the absolute truth, even when they think I'm not going to like it

- My parents for doing a deplorable job raising me, their inept parenting led me to develop a lot of skills that consequently made me who I am, and allow me to be a good parent to my children

- People who have the courage and conviction to defend and stand up for their beliefs even when they aren't popular

- My little sister for thinking I'm infallible and for supporting me completely in anything I do or say, to a completely illogical and inappropriate degree

- Sarcasm and the people who really pull it off

- Sunshine and warm weather

- All the assholes in the world, they make it easier to spot the good people and make me appreciate them even more

I know you said 'other than this board' IB, but no list of appreciation on here would be complete without the following:

- The WW and the BM that make WWBM a bright spot in every day. I appreciate the humor, the intellligent discussion, the heated debate, and the support. But most of all I appreciate that I often find myself examining and reevaluating my perspective because of something said, and being challenged to really think.
