Unexpected Appreciation

Last Friday I was the recipient of an unexpected gift.  I had been helping some people at work in the absence of their team leader.  They all pooled together and got me a card and bought me lunch.  The thoughtfulness of the messages in the card really touched my heart.  It is times like that when I really don’t mind going that extra mile at work.  It’s nice to know that someone recognizes your talents and is appreciative of your efforts.
