Losing Things to Appreciating Things

Hello Appreciators!

I recently had quite an experience I'd like to share:

I had two jobs since i graduated, and thankfully, always been busy and working.

Eventually, you have ups and downs wherever you are, and for two years working, you are bound to feel unappreciative of what you have! I started to feel quite bored, and from time to time, naturally complain.

I recently lost my job ( no worries! just visa problems!). I felt for a moment, that maybe God is trying to show me how much i really did appreciate my job. Even made note of silly things i'm going remember, like the colors on the wall, and that I can wear jeans to work! I will say this, I never thought about how much I valued the health insurance i had from just working there!

So i kept thinking to myself 'Gosh I really wish i didn't complain a lot while i had all of this' !

However i'm a big believer in fate, and know I will find even bigger things to appreciate.. this experience in itself is something I'm sure i'll be thankful for.

The important lesson is, you can always wish for better, and you have the right to. Just while you're at it , reaally really try to remember that you're already and always lucky with what you have now! (good news for everyone)!

Merci and Watch the World Cup!

LOST

It's Lost Finale Episode tonight.

If you're a LOST fan, what do you appreciate about LOST?

Here's my lost appreciation list:

1- The mystery (6 years of not knowing what's in the box!)

2- The Storyline: How everything and every character is connected

3- Every angle is included ( Science, Religion, Music, Methodology, Action..etc) Making it easy for the viewer to make their own interpretations.

4- The actors are generally good looking!

5- The characters are global (Iraqi, Australian, British, American..etc) Not just American.

6- The music score

7- It's mostly set on a beach. Makes you feel relaxed but anxious at the same time!

8- If you're loyal to watching LOST, you feel like you're able to commit to something even when it was bad! Like you love something unconditionally...(ok maybe that's just me!)

9- The title is strongly related to how the viewers feel when they watch LOST: they're just as lost as the characters!

10- You start to appreciate having a normal life where you don't have to worry about a smokey monster, or mysterious hatches!

Thank you, Appreciated,

Wesam

Appreciating Getting Home After a Long Day

Who's with me?

The feeling of arriving home after a long day, and knowing you can crash on your bed if you like because you deserve it!

1- hitting your head on the pillow just before you sleep

2- for girls : taking off make up

3- taking your shoes off

4- drinking water from your own kitchen, and using your own bathroom (it's true!)

5- seeing your family/ partner / pet you have at home -with hug, relief, story sharing..etc

Takk fyrir, Appreciated,

Wesam

Appreciating Team Work

The last couple of months i was participating in the production of Oliver! I just loved how everything worked together - and in the end seeing the result of the team effort from every angle. It was just goose-bumpy and nothing experienced before.

I appreciate how:

1- two heads are better than one

2- different things make ONE message

3- different voices make the harmony

4- when you celebrate the success - you celebrate it with your team! because everyone is just as happy as you are. And if you aren't celebrating, you have everyone else around you to make you feel that you're not alone. Even in small achievements/ failures.

5- You feel useful, and part of something!

i truly appreciate-this,

Wesam
