From the lens Appreciate Your Way to Happiness.

    Every moment brings along so much with it to appreciate, and the more you do, the more it has to offer. The phenomenon is almost magical - stretching a moment to an eternity. This lens too has that magical quality.

    I think the real key to happiness is acknowledging the good things daily. So many of the simple things are gifts and need to be appreciated in order to better experience life. Blessed!

    Great lens.

    I love this lens! I try to appreciate my life too! I recently made some lenses around this sort of topic..like my Creating Happiness. In fact I am going to lensroll this to that lens. Blessing this lens too!

    I appreciate this lens. So much so that I decided to sprinkle some of my Granny FairyAngel dust on it. It will be featured on Granny FairyAngel Blessing lens.

    Your efforts in putting this beautiful and thoughtful lens are much appreciated! I agree, life is too short to wallow in negative thoughts, yes there is a time when may feel down and out, but being appreciative through it brings about much change to get up and move forward. **Blessed by a Squid-Angel**

    I cannot more agree with jacquelinestone! I read a lot about this topic. I really like to read books. Thank you for great information!

    I absolutely love this lens ... and I appreciate YOU for making it! Just reading something like things can boost our spirits, and our vibration, when we're feeling down. I know it felt good to put all your appreciation out there on this lens, but it feels good to share in it, too.

    A truly wonderful lense! We should always be thankful for what we have and be appreciative.
  • OpenSecret Jul 3, 2010 @ 11:05 am | delete
    Great lens! Number 1 thing to appreciate...yourself. If you are reading this lens, you have already been granted the most precious gift imaginable...life.
  • JaguarJulie Jun 23, 2010 @ 7:05 am | delete
    Oh my ... this is so touching ... you know, there is absolutely NOTHING that I ever take for granted. And, I do appreciate so many things and am thankful each and every day for so many of the little things. Thank you.

    Always love your lenses! This one is a jewel among the jewels that are your lenses. Love it! Blessed!

    And i appreciate you taking the time to write this lens! so much so i am going to tweet it and share some happiness too.......x
  • FelicityLuckey May 27, 2010 @ 3:27 am | delete
    This is a beautiful lens...both to read and to look at. I appreciate all your work and thoughts that went into this creation. In my heart, I feel gratitude.
    For me appreciation comes from my senses, and what follows comes from my heart; pure gratitude. Sending you ((HUGS)) and thank you for being a source of inspiration.
  • jptanabe May 20, 2010 @ 7:00 pm | delete
    Wow this is wonderful! I also prefer to appreciate (and be appreciated) over having to be grateful - of course I'm grateful too for lots of things, but many times appreciation is what I feel. And happiness, yes, let's all be happy!
  • TacTac May 20, 2010 @ 5:48 pm | delete
    This was one of the best reads I have had in awhile, thanks for all the work. Beautiful photo selection too!
  • BevsPaper May 20, 2010 @ 5:45 pm | delete
    I appreciate your thoughtfulness in writing this. I think one has to be in the mindset of appreciation before they can get to a feeling of gratitude. How could you be grateful for something without first having been appreciative. Great Lens!
  • WordCustard May 20, 2010 @ 1:49 pm | delete
    Thank you for a lens that is both insightful and beautiful. Right now, what I appreciate is the amount of work that went into putting this together to share such a positive and inspiring approach to life with us. Looks like you got yourself another ~*~* Angel Blessing *~*~ :)
  • EverythingMouse May 20, 2010 @ 9:55 am | delete
    This was such a great and inspiring way to start the day. One of the most thought provoking lenses which I have seen in a while on Squidoo. Thank you. Angel Blessings to you
  • kimmanleyort May 20, 2010 @ 7:47 am | delete
    Just re-visiting this lens and want to show my appreciation for your thoughtful comments here. I read this lens awhile ago and loved it, but after some thought and reading and new experiences, I have an even greater understanding of what you are saying here. It reminds me of the word namaste - the spirit in me sees the spirit in you. You seem to be experiencing the connection between all things and accepting the intrinsic goodness in yourself and others. Thank you
  • LeanneChesser May 19, 2010 @ 6:54 pm | delete
    Bev, I just wanted to let you know that this lens will be featured on Squidoo Lens Reviews (http://blog.growwear.com/) tomorrow, Thursday, May 20. Great work!
  • clemency May 13, 2010 @ 5:38 pm | delete
    Lovely lens, really inspiring, just what I needed! 5*
  • JonathanKhan Apr 27, 2010 @ 11:55 pm | delete
    I love this philosophical lens. Philosophical yet practical. Keep it up !!!!!
  • aj2008 Apr 27, 2010 @ 3:53 pm | delete
    Oh what a topical lens this is! I love the definition of appreciation - this lens should serve as a reminder to a lot of people to "appreciate" each other and the good things in life - and on Squidoo!
  • Hobartian2 Apr 27, 2010 @ 8:58 am | delete
    I love your outlook - positivity and appreciation are great traits to build in oneself. Excellent lens!
  • tysam Feb 16, 2010 @ 4:16 pm | delete
    This is a great lens. I keep a gratitude journal and I often find myself exchanging gratitude for thankful when it just doesn't seem to fit, like you, I feel sometimes that gratitude is something I owe, being thankful isn't... I like "appreciate" even better. Great thoughts, I'm thankful you made it.
  • ShirlW Feb 11, 2010 @ 11:56 am | delete
    This is a really, really good lens. I read Simple Abundance several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I should pull it out again - I'm sure I would have a new appreciation for it!
  • LeanneChesser Feb 4, 2010 @ 8:26 am | delete
    Your view of appreciation is very similar to how I see gratitude. I guess it's just a matter of how we perceive or understand the terms. This is a fantastic lens. Thanks for educating people and providing personal examples of how you show appreciation throughout your day. Thanks, too, for featuring my gratitude lens here.
  • Tipi Feb 2, 2010 @ 7:23 pm | delete
    This has been some very good food for thought. I had never thought the difference through between appreciation and gratitude before. You have a unique light in you life.
    I appreciate you and this wonderful lens,
    Susie

    I really do appreciate your great lens. Well written as always and definitely food for thought. I'm showing my appreciation with a 5* rating. Congratulations on reaching your 50 on target.
  • stargazer00 Dec 4, 2009 @ 8:43 pm | delete
    An attitude of appreciation...I like it! Enjoyed reading.
  • kimmanleyort Dec 3, 2009 @ 8:15 am | delete
    Appreciation is often in short supply so this is a great reminder. Beautifully laid out and congratulations on #50!
  • prosperity66 Dec 2, 2009 @ 5:04 pm | delete
    This is a well crafted lens on a nice topic!
    Deserves 5 stars.
    And by the way, happy number 50!

    Love this lens! Great advice and stuff I do. Love that squid kite! I agree with what you wrote her. Blessed by an angel!

    Congratulations on your 50th lens. I appreciate your kindness and thoughtfulness. Each time I read your writing it makes me feel good inside. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us.
  • arncyn Dec 2, 2009 @ 9:49 am | delete
    I love your lenses and I am inspired by your story about appreciating not just the happy events in life but also the negative because only then will true appreciation for what comes next will be able to shine through. Wonderful food for thought.
  • luvmyludwig Dec 2, 2009 @ 9:41 am | delete
    This is an amazing 50th lens. I totally agree with you on this. I'm lensrolling to several of my lenses. You are also blessed by a squid angel/greeter. I knew you could make 50! Great job!
  • ulla_hennig Dec 2, 2009 @ 9:22 am | delete
    I like your words about appreciation and gratitude - you really made me think there!
    Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!
  • Knowlen_Wanderer Dec 2, 2009 @ 8:23 am | delete
    Good lens, I liked the lifeforce streaming energy bit!
    5 Stars from me!
  • sema Dec 2, 2009 @ 8:17 am | delete
    Congratulations!
    What a beautiful expression of appreciation!
    I would like to show my appreciation by giving you 5* and making it one of my favorites.
  • Janiece Dec 2, 2009 @ 6:56 am | delete
    What a fabulous lens!! Congratulations on it being lens # 50 too!
  • rms Dec 2, 2009 @ 6:27 am | delete
    This is fabulous and I totally agree. I'm learning to appreciate everything more graciously.
    Congrats on your 50th! I appreciate good lensmasters like you!
  • ChapelHillFiddler Dec 2, 2009 @ 6:12 am | delete
    Six stars! No, eight! I lensrolled this to my "Want to be Happy? Try being thankful" lens and gave you your own featured lens module there! This is absolutely lovely. I appreciate you.
  • ChapelHillFiddler Dec 2, 2009 @ 6:00 am | delete
    This is a great, great lens. I guess in these dark days a lot of us are trying to hone in and focus on what can make our lives good. I did one of these two (about happiness and thankfulness) and it helped me. Yours is better, so clear and lovely. I'm going to feature it on mine. Thanks! I really appreciate it (heh). And I feel I know you a little better.
  • GrowWear Dec 2, 2009 @ 5:38 am | delete
    Congratulations on your 50th lens! I really like your take on appreciation vs. gratitude.
