December 14 – Appreciate. What’s the one thing you have come to appreciate most in the past year? How do you express gratitude for it? (Author: Victoria Klein)
I think the greatest thing I have come to appreciate the most is my friends. When I was in high school, I remember my sister would always tell me that when I get older, I would only have enough "good" friends to count on one hand. I always told her she was lying - I was absolutely certain I would have multitudes of "good" friends...ha!
But as time passes and as people change and grow, I realize how blessed I really am. There is an amazing amount of comfort and appreciation in knowing that I have fantastic friends I can always turn to. It doesn't matter how many or how few - it's really just about the quality (and I'll take quality over quantity any day).
A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine was in a terrible car accident and after looking at the pictures, I'm not really sure how she could have possibly survived. It's times like that, and moments like this where I realize how much I appreciate who I have in my life. The best way I know how to express gratitude for it is by trying to be as good of a friend to them as they have been to me. And most importantly, always telling them how much I care & love them.
