This is my first attempt at blogging other than on myspace, so please forgive me if it doesn't sound right or look right. First of all, I am from Oklahoma. I miss the flat, open landscape a lot. I'm also a country girl so city life is just a little much. I also have family in Oklahoma. My daughter and grandsons are there, as are my mom and my 97 yr old grandmother. My husband is an over-the-road truck driver and I'll be able to go with him next month but he doesn't go west of the Mississippi and the company won't allow pets and we have a wonderful cat named Allie Rose. I have lots of things on my mind lately (i.e. the title wonderings). I was in Walmart recently looking for something and ran into this lady. I didn't know her from Eve and we started talking about jobs. I don't have one but told her I'd like to do try volunteer work. She said she worked but was very unhappy with her job. She said she felt like she worked hard and was good at what she did but felt very unappreciated. Her boss never told her "thank you" or "nice job". You know, I think a job goes a lot easier when it's appreciated. A person seems to enjoy doing it more if they're told thanks. I used to work at a Christian book store and my boss told me every day when I got ready to go home, "thank you for all the hard work you did today". Now, I might not have had a good day that day, but her saying that made me WANT to come to work the next day. I told the lady to smile, pray about it and keep working hard. So, if you're reading this and you know someone who needs a little pickmeup, tell 'em thanks, or have a nice day and smile when ya say it!
