Way to be Okay~Great Expectation or Greater Appreciation...

Expect nothing;Appreciate everything"~Unknown 

Right off the bat I can say I appreciate this quote on appreciation. 

I appreciate organic tomatoes: 
 

I appreciate warmth when it is too cold 
 

And coolness when it is too hot. 

I appreciate clean water: 
 

And the availability to drink it freely: 
 

I appreciate laughter & Bugs Bunny: 
 

Finding humor when their is so much sadness 
And I appreciate being able to hear the laughter. 

I appreciate feeling deeply when there are many are too numb to feel at all. 

I appreciate being 60 when far too many do not get out of childhood, adolescent or experience young adulthood. 

I appreciate grandeur 
 

And awesome-ness even at night:
 


I appreciate the arts in all its genres, 

Dance: 
 

*Music in all its forms: 

 

*Visual: 
 

Literature: 
 


I appreciate love both small & large 
 
And seasoned with cayenne:

In stolen moments: 
 

I appreciate purple sofas: 
 

And red lipstick: 
 

And great perfume: 
 

**Beautiful flowers, gardens and natural spaces: 

 

I appreciate friendships long ones and short ones: 

 

I even appreciate those who show who they are, so I know not to be that way: 
 

I appreciate even more who show kindness so I can be that way more: 
 

I expect to continue to do the same in 2011.
