appreciate | The Warm Milk Journal

What I love and what I appreciate about the things I love. Tonight’s journal writing session.

What we appreciate appreciates.

What we focus on grows.

Why not focus on what we love and how we appreciate what we love?

It’s journal writing time, let’s see…

I love my husband!

(yes, this is really me and John taken on our wedding day last March..already almost a year ago!)

What I appreciate about him is his kindness, friendship, and all the many things he does to take care of the house and our family (including cleaning the cat boxes!)

I love my job!

What I appreciate about my job (I’m a fifth grade school teacher) is: I can help and inspire young people, two days are never the same, I am challenged intellectually and creatively all the time. Yes, I am learning right along with my students: a truly wonderful thing!

I love cats!

What I appreciate about cats is their beauty, softness, companionship, their spirit, everything! I just love cats.

(My sweet cat Mew, of course)

I love Florida!

(A Florida sunset is the best!)

What I appreciate about Florida is that it is my home, it is entrusting me to teach it’s young (by giving me my teaching certificate), the climate, the beach, the palm trees, the fact that it stays green here all year long, and all the friendly people who live here.

This exercise is really fun. I find myself on a roll here. I do not wish to be a bore so I will finish my entry in my private journal and permit you to begin yours!

Have fun!
