This post is meant to offer eveyone a bit of a distraction from whatever may be plaguing them at the moment.

4. I appreciate the way hot tea can fix even the coldest of days.
5. I appreciate sense of accomplishment one gets when a good book is finished.
6. I appreciate the way that the perfect photograph can make eveything seem right in the world, even if only for a moment.
7. I appreciate the way the first stroke of paint looks on a fresh canvas.
8. I appreciate the softness of a brand new sweater.
