I've read some of the posts in the Appreciation Revolution and have to say I love the whole idea of it. Appreciation is so important, and we often take so many things for granted. It got me thinking about who or what I appreciate and there are so many amazing, beautiful things in the world...we just have to pause to acknowledge them.<br><br>Also, cookies 'n cream is a favorite of mine, too!

You know, I was home for bit in August and it made me really realize that truly life is a gift. I've had that as my Facebook quote for a while because I truly believe it. I think the time we have on this earth is so valuable and ephemeral, and needs to be cherished.<br><br>That's why I love what you are doing with the Appreciation Revolution :) Sam- Happy early birthday!

The truth is that I absolutely love ice cream, and it's pretty impressive that I could narrow it down to two flavors. <br><br>On a more serious note, I like how you said that, knowing you control and dictate the contents of your mind, and consequently your happiness...I think that's something people often forget.

Thanks for the happy birthday! I love birthdays too, mine and other people's. I like to make birthdays special for my loved ones and friends, cards, presents, balloons...the works. And, I agree with you, it's the perfect opportunity to get a fresh start.<br><br>I'm so glad that this post helped you understand what your friend's been going through. I've felt like Debbie Downer for the past year or so, and been hesitant to reach out to my friends because of it. I'm sure your friend really appreciates your support, even if she doesn't tell you. <br><br>Cookie dough and cookies & cream?! Heaven :) Um Jenny, I think we might be soulmates lol.
