I was thinking how lovely positive feedback is. We are all so busy in life just getting by that sometimes we don't let people know how much we appreciate the things they do for us be it that they are the friendly person who served you at the supermarket or the knight in shining armour who helped you when your car broke down.
I left a card for one of the women at work last week. I could see she was looking rather stressed and I thought it would be nice to remind her how great she is and thank her for all she does to help the school. She came to find me and was tearful as she was so touched and that is when it hit me. It is such a little thing but it means so much to be appreciated and for someone to notice you for the person you are. I have had parents of children I used to teach stop me in the street to update me on how well their child is doing now and to thank me for teaching them. This makes me feel really valued.
I have decided that I am going to make a conscious effort to show and tell people how much I appreciate what they do for me as it is clear that genuine appreciation really does make all the difference.
