Gratitude

Gratitude is one of those things that I feel I rarely get. Sometimes it's nice to know that someone wants you around and appreciates the things you do. Its nice to hear a "thank you" from time to time. It's easy to feel a bit disregarded at times, especially in my line of work.

However, today was a much different day. While my day did start off with a bunch of cussing and fussing from a client I was deeply touched by another one who called to wish me well. I thought it was very sweet of him and really made me smile. I didn't think anyone would remember I was leaving but he did and he told me thank you for all the help I had given him. My co-workers took me to lunch and gave me a wonderful card full of words of praise and well wishes. They are a wonderful group and I happy I had the opportunity to work with them. My biggest surprise of the day was a gift from the most unlikely of people. Two of the job coaches that I work with bought me a beautiful engraved silver business card holder. Just beautiful. I really felt like I might cry. We never worked much together but they were so sweet to give it to me. I love it not because of how beautiful it is, but because someone took the time to pick something out for me, when they had only known me a couple of months. The front of it says "Imagine the Possibilities..."

What can you say when you have a day like that?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
