Perhaps I will speak a moment regarding "appreciation".

Appreciation is a facet of love, which is understood in a context enjoyed by any who has discernment. To appreciate a good meal, a full repast, is to savor not only the taste and feeling of fullness but to appreciate what has gone into the preparation of the feast, in other words, the efforts of many unseen helpers who have enabled the meal to be presented and consumed with delight.

TOMAS: I was going to say that as a teacher, I am getting rather excited with this class, that it is taking on extracurricular assignments and reading book reviews without them being assigned.

I can see merit to almost any game plan that is presented. Indeed, even the Alpheus twins have something I can work with, and I will work with this: that it is time to call our evening to a close.

It has been an enchanted evening. I have appreciated the graciousness of our acting hostess and the environs as well as the company. How I miss you when we are not all together, for even though I admire you and appreciate you individually, it is always such an orchestration when we all come together; I eagerly look forward to the next tune.
