Appreciation=Allowance=Expansion

 

There is great value in looking for things to appreciate.

I find myself doing this almost all the time now.

Sometimes when I am in the company of someone new, they usually look upon me with great amusement, as I exclaim about

every 'friggin' thing around me. 'Do you have to appreciate everything?' 

Yes I do!

'Why?'

Because it makes me feel good!

Looking for things to appreciate also means I am focused on what feels good and what IS good.

 Focusing with an attitude of appreciation- upon the scenery, or the comfortable, reliable car I'm driving in, or the wonderful music I'm listening to, 

or the well kept highways and byways, or the convenience of the filling stations, or the fantastic weather or my efficient windshield wipers or the bottle of spring water that's next to me- puts me in a place of Allowance.

I can only get to Expansion from this place of Allowance which can only be arrived at from a place of Appreciation.
