Often, there’s a sentiment that appreciating the present moment is “settling for what you have.”  I disagree. Expectation can easily become tyrannical, cutting the joy out of every circumstance that doesn’t meet a short-sighted standard.  On the other hand, appreciation is an open state of mind, allowing unforeseen opportunities/advantages to naturally arise into one’s awareness.…
