Appreciation

We all like to be appreciated. But mostly we just do what we do, not expecting any recognition or reward. Who was it that said, "Virtue is it's own reward"? We do things out of love or duty, but once in a while someone says, "good job", and it adds a bit of pep to the day. I was painting woodwork in the dining room yesterday, a somewhat tedious job, when Martin said, "I really appreciate you doing that!" It may not seem like a big deal, it was not, but it's the little things, over time, that make a big difference.
