Overflowing with Appreciations

Every day I feel such appreciation for the blessings in my life.  This doesn't come easily, though I notice the more I consistently make deposits (thought and intention) into my life, the more withdrawals (of joy) I am able to access.  I appreciate a bath every couple weeks.  Before each bath, I list my appreciations in my journal.  Today is one such fortunate day.  Here's my list.  What's on your list today?

I APPRECIATE:

• helping Grandma clean her cupboards.
