I appreciate:

• Knowing that if I keep looking for things to appreciate and for good-feeling thoughts I’ll eventually find them.
• Having kids whom I not only love, but also genuinely like and admire — and who are even willing to hang out with me, still.
• The casio calculator I’ve had since high school. I know I’ve appreciated it before, but it’s on my desk and I’m appreciating it again. I like the way it reminds me of high school math (which I loved) and gives me a sense of connection from that version of me to today’s version.
