Appreciation

Appreciating simple pleasures …..

• The time immediately after a much anticipated release from work when you have the following day off. When you practically run out the door before they can call you back. Feels so liberating.
• Autumn rain showers ….. as opposed to plain old steady, relentless and dreary RAIN! There's HOPE and possibilities in rain showers.
• Late night music!!! Enhances the moment and the uncertainties found in the dark and quiet hours. 
• A hot and delicious meal prepared in one's pressure cooker. You too can feel like a chef. Like you've accomplished something significant. Significant to my standards anyway.
• Your college alma mater, in the midst of a losing season and when it looked like they had reached a seasonal low point that couldn't get much worse, coming back from a 31-3 third quarter deficit to win their football game. And proud to say that when they made it 31-10, I had a thought ….. "Maybe there's still time and a chance?"
• Feeling that you've made a comeback of sorts with your health!!! Feeling like you are only joking when talking about being an old man.
