Praise and compliment yourself today, this moment for all you have done this day however insignificant the action or inaction has seemed. Take the rest of today and appreciate your specialness, acts and contributions to life. My husband mowed the back lawn of our home today. Every time I look out upon the lawn I feel happy for the cut grass. It is nice to look at. 

Let’s recognize our abilities and praise them in ourselves. Likewise, give thanks for these treasured gifts others give us. Because of each another, we live happier lives. Think of the number of people who stop at the local coffee shop on a regular bases. Many people do.

Furthermore, the consumers count on the employees coming to work and serving the customers when they stop at their establishment. Let’s tell our store owners thank you for your efforts, cleanliness or the like for which we are grateful.

I reiterate, love and appreciate yourself today. Feel the power in self-gratitude and thankfulness toward other people for all they do to make life more comfortable and better for us. 

These acts of consideration change and improve our world by one gracious act at a time.

We are grateful and show our appreciation outwardly to others and to ourselves now and on a regular basis, Amen.
