Appreciation

My God, people appreciate very little these days

It began with the children of the “Baby Boomers”

Prior to this generation

Our parents shoved “appreciation” down our throats

Baby Boomers, in an effort to give their children everything, possible

Forgot to teach appreciation

A lack of appreciation for things they did not buy

A lack of appreciation

For struggle, opportunities, worldly goods

And just the ordinary things in life

This is one theory for the lack of appreciation that we observe

There are other theories for this behavior

Perhaps, evolving times or “devolving” times!!

Christmas is a time when we see it most 

Wonderful gifts and people are not happy with them

Appreciation is the twin of gratitude

Both of which are taught at an early age
