Morning of 8/26
Good morning.....
I am battling some slight depression these days....I don't know..
Partially it's related to my work....just really not wanting to go in in 3 hours, knowing that I have to work until 9:30. Yuck. If the past two days are indicitive of what today will be, it will be lots of unfun stuff, with just no challenges, stupid customers, and my boss's boss is scheduled tocome by today. How I hope that he is gone by the time I get there.
I am also down because I feel unappreciated. I put out, I work, I try, I do, and I get few thank yous. I have been, in the past few months, put it on myself to write encouraging letters to people that I know, and the latest batch, this past week, I haven't gotten any thank yous, any appreciation. The way that I do it is...I email my pastor's wife,she prints it out and mails it. At first, she would email me back, and encourage me....but not lately.
Even lately, I have emailed her to encourage her directly..and no response. I know that we're not supposed to rely on people's words and reactions..but it sure helps....
You know, journal and whomever else reads this, it would sure make me smile to check my email one day, and have about 10-15 emails from good friends, telling m e that they appreciated what I do, and why....
Oh well...
Maybe I'm not vain....
I will still be tenderhearted, kind, sweet, considerate, encouraging..
But..
Who encourages the encourager?
