Appreciate

I appreciate the fresh coastal air.
I appreciate long weekends with my family.
I appreciate the first dive into the lake without a wetsuit.
I appreciate good humor and laughter.

I appreciate grilled steak and asparagus from the grill.
I appreciate a nice glass of red wine.
I appreciate sitting around the table with family and close friends.
I appreciate beautiful sunsets over the lake.

I appreciate the feel of the ocean on my feet.
I appreciate the seagulls hovering overhead.
I appreciate our kids jumping in the ocean water covered in sand.
I appreciate the ability to walk along the sandy shores.

And I appreciate mocha milkshakes. Especially when they are the
best in town.

And finally, I appreciate punching the throttle of the boat to 60 mph
and feeling the wind in my hair.
