Quick tidbit

We had a summer intern working with us at my job for the past few months and her name is Iris. Iris is the daughter of another employee in my same department. Today as I got ready to walk out the door I received a thank you card from Iris as it was her last day. I was blown away at what she said and how appreciative she was. We don't see appreciation to much in the marketplace on the contrary it just feels like hard work, long hours, and low pay are just expected of us. As I drove away I begin to think about appreciation a little more. There's no doubt that even though I try to leave work at work and not bring it home even still the marketplace has a way of molding you into performance monster, a results driven maniac and forgetting about those who are right by your side. So for my wife first I appreciate you sooo much your such a hard worker and I've seen such strength come out of you like never before. For my kids thanks for just being you and putting a smile on my face by the crazy things you do. For my team, I do not take not one day for granted for all of you. I think about your sacrifice, your hearts, your hard work often and I am constantly praying for you. There's a huge list that I could go down and thank, but let's just put it this way; if you have crossed my path I appreciate you.
