It makes a difference...

At work, I have truly been working my rear off... It's been busy and I've been juggling multiple projects and managing lots of expectations. Today and yesterday I was sincerely thanked and praised... Once by my direct boss and once by a peer who I truly respect, admire, and enjoy working with.

It's amazing how much of a difference that makes. I will bend over backwards and be stretched in a dozen different directions...always "on"....on message, on vision, on board with anything. But when you thank and appreciate me and are fun to be around, I will do it ten times harder and LOVE it.

Today I am grateful for good bosses, GREAT collegues who feel my pain, a loving fiancé who puts up with me, and friends who pick me up and make me laugh.
