Often in our everyday lives its easy to get so caught up in what we are doing that we never stop to acknowledge people who we probably should. On the weekend i had a lady come up to me and say thank you for taking such wonderful care of her mother. it made me realise how good it makes someone feel to just get that recognition and thanks. it isnt hard to do and it doesnt take long either. many times at work we have relatives complaining at what we didnt do rather than ever saying thank you for what we have done. sure everyone has the right to complain but its equally as easy to show gratitude too.
i am going to make a special effort to thank some people this week just to give them some recognition and let them know that they are appreciated.
on a similar note one of the boys i have been helping with his reading at school has improved so much he doesnt need m help anymore which is wonderful. His mum is actually one of the instructors at my gym and she was so proud telling me about it today. it made me feel good to knowing that the extra help has boosted his confidence and made him come along so much. so next week when i go i will have a different girl or boy to start afresh with.
well need to get onto this mountain of housework.
hugs bell :)

Isn't it wonderful to not only think you are appreciated, but to actually know it because someone has said so? The work you do with the elderly and with the reading at school is such that it allows you to touch people's hearts in a special way. You have a wonderful gift in that.
Hugs,
