Appreciate the underappreciated

It's been a little while since I have written and that's because it is just now that I am having a chance to write! Friday was employee appreciation at my work, and we were all given a catered lunch, a company gift, and a little raffle for us. No, it wasn't a TON, but it was nice. It changed the routine and it made things a little fun. It made me feel good, and I remember how good it has always felt when someone appreciates my work. I'm not talking about just an employer-employee, but whenever someone recognizes my work and appreciates it. I think it would be great if people could appreciate others more often, even the girl at the grocery store. Just that little bit makes a difference in the day of that person. It's SO easy to take for granted the everyday services we see, but stopping and saying thank you, and meaning it really can't be that hard.


On a completely different note, I was able to get out to Bradbury Mountain State Park. It was such a beautiful day, and the park was perfect. There was still some snow on the ground, but the warm temperatures made the snow look WAY out of place. I took my 8.5 month old puppy as well, he had a good time! He was actually really good around the other people and dogs. He even posed for some pictures! Personally, I think he just likes having his photo taken. :) We got a little lost on the trails coming back, hoping for the longer trail we ended up on the super short trail, but it was still a great time! We were able to finish the hike before the clouds really rolled in and made things cooler!

Sincerely Yours,
Katy
