R-E-S-P-E-C-T


Today a Facebook friend ranted about not feeling appreciated. She prefaced it by saying that she was probably being a baby about it but the fact that she was unappreciated was really upsetting her. I think we have all felt this way from time to time. No one wants to whine and cry about it but I think we all deserve some appreciation.

Right now tell someone that you appreciate them. Tell your co-worker thanks for helping you with a project or tell your spouse that you appreciate the things they do to make your life better. Thank your parents for taking good care of you and thank your kids for finally cleaning their rooms.

Feeling unappreciated? What do you do that deserves some R-E-S-P-E-C-T?

I don;t deserve respect... I am worthless and a waste of organic sentience.

I just assume everyone appreciates me, even if they don't tell me (or don't period). Gets me through the day without a problem.

There's always somebody that needs you more than you need them, and that is about the best appreciation you can get.

Jen- I appreciate YOU! Good job friend on being a friend who people, namely me, can count on!

Shawn: I know.

Brian: I agree with that on many levels BUT it is still good to let the people around you know that you appreciate them. It can make a difference in how they feel about themselves and at work, it can make a difference in how they perform. Eventually, if people do not feel appreciated ever, they move on.

Becky: I appreciate you too! You're a wonderful friend and amazing lady! :)
