The MAGIC in giving and receiving appreciation for something or from someone is making sure it is said in a way that the listener can receive it.

A lot of people say, "One day at a time," but what does it really mean? Many years ago, A friend of mine named Ron, once explained it to me this way, "It means to live by your principles.

Focus on Keeping it Simple. Break things down into the simplest components, one thing at a time, each and every day in the simplest way. Keeping it simple is really important.
