Making Appreciation a Habit
It should be as normal as breathing
We are told that we need to be grateful.
It is now gradually becoming a habit.
We are grateful for the life we have,
Our work, our life, interests and loves.
We are so grateful for getting up every morning.
Filled with gratitude for a wonderful day,
Happy and grateful for a wholesome meal.
Pleased with all the good people in life,
The ones we live with, work and greet.
Gratitude has now become a part,
For most of us in life today.
Which is always so great to hear.
Let gratitude fill you with song this year.
However, we do love to be appreciated,
For all the work we do at home and at work.
So, when we receive appreciation, we love it,
It fills our hearts with warmth and with joy.
Appreciation makes a big difference to everyone,
It shows that you care for what they do,
Whether it is baking a cake or repairing your shoe.
There are few who appreciate others and what they do.
Make appreciation a habit, it is great to receive,
But, equally empowering to share appreciation, too…
