appreciation letter

WHAT IS APPRECIATION?

It's a predisposition, an inclination, an openness and readiness of the heart to notice the person who has chosen us, and to sense that our chosen relationship is an awesome thing, not to be taken lightly or for granted.   An attitude of appreciation colors our perception of our relationship and everything that happens within it.

APPRECIATION IS A HEALER

"Keep your face to the sunshine
And you cannot see the shadows."
-Helen Keller

Following counselling couples feel more appreciation as they heal the wounds and disappointments of the past.   APPRECIATION is a symptom of a successful relationship, a sign that you are completing the unfinished business of past hurts.   Rapid healing takes place when you express APPRECIATION for something that has in the past been a source of anger or hurt for you.   It takes raw courage to look your PARTNER in the eye and give THEM thanks for the lessons you have learned FROM THEM.   For many couples this face to face stuff is hard, however, believe us in the form of a letter appreciation is just as powerful.
