As we all think about our year and make our resolutions, I would like to propose that we add appreciation.

Appreciation tends to fall by the wayside, but it should be in the forefront.  We should appreciate what we have (even the simple things) and we will be more thankful when we get more . . .

Many of us tend to forget that:

• Things could be worse
• People are getting sick and dying-- do we appreciate our good health?
• Our families are paramount
• Basic food, clothing, and shelter are all we really need

The list could go on, but you get the idea.  So as you make your resolutions for the New Year-- let's not forget appreciation.
