A is for Appreciation. Yes my first post for the A to Z Challenge will cause some Dads to think long and hard at what they are doing.
I’m doing this as I sit here writing this blog post as well. In not at all perfect and I do 
struggle to on a daily basis trying to be the best dad and husband that I can.
I have been noticing a lot of Dads writing and talking about making life choices and getting a divorce on social media. I don’t know all of the reason nor do I need to know all of the reasons for your choices. Most of the talk I hear is all self center and not noticing what they have until it is too late and someone or some child gets hurt by it.
Everyone needs to take a step back from what you are doing and appreciate what you have in front of you before it is too late. Be happy at what you got and who you married because you did at one time or you wouldn’t be married right now. Remember how precious and important your child or children are.
Because one day it can be over in a blink of an eye. Life is too short to waste time and not appreciate what you got in front of you. At the end, friends come and go but family stays together through the best and the hard times in life. Your spouse will help you more often and be there for you if you show her or him appreciation.
Appreciation is one of the key words I don’t hear people say or talk about that much. I mostly here it if someone is getting something from another person like a gift or helping someone do a task.
As I state that above, I do appreciate you stopping by and reading my blog post. Feel free to comment below with your thoughts as well as your opinions about this post.

I think you are 110% correct. Too many people (not just dads) don’t appreciate what they have. I think putting your dirty laundry and arguments on social media is the worst thing you can do. Talk to your spouse and figure it out between the two of you, not the entire world! Thank you for sharing and I will be stopping by later in the challenge. Cassie from Mommy, RN
I’m glad that others see the world in the same light that I do. Thank You for stopping by my blog.
Reblogged this on An Array Of Blogs.
You’re absolutely right, we tend to forget about the good things, as if they diminished as time went by while the annoyance grows like a snowball. Why can’t we put appreciation into that snowball instead?
Your correct!
This is great advice for moms as well as dads! Good luck in the challenge.
Thank you and thank you for stopping by my blog.
I enjoyed reading from a dad’s point of view! I look forward to reading more! Appreciation was my letter A as well
Thank you for stopping by. I like reading other parenting blogs and their journey through parenthood. I’ll be adding your blog to my reading list.

Its a fun challenge to do and thank you for stopping by to read my blog.
You are most welcome!:-)
What a wonderful sentiment and a lovely post to read as I sip my morning coffee. We all have so much to be appreciative of – sometimes, we just don’t realize it.

I always hear others wanting more out of life and not be appreciative of what they already have. I like to know how can someone really want more if they don’t realize what they have already. That is what I was trying to get my readers to think about. Thank you stopping by to read my blog.
