I'm appreciative beyond words. Some people say kids are supposed to take care of their parents if they need it. I'm blown away at how much mine have given of themselves for me.

They have gone above and beyond these past 3 years. Best kids in the world. I hope you all with kids are as lucky some day.


Oh? Do they cut off pieces of their flesh and feed it to you? Gross!

Appreciative but not appreciated.



Story of my life.



story of every mom's life, I expect. without us everyone would be naked, filthy, and hungry, but you'd never know it the way we're treated on a day-to-day basis.



My boss doesn't appreciate a damned thing either.

So what does it mean when everyone replies that they appreciate others but aren't appreciated?

I would like to feel more appreciated but know that I can let others know of my appreciation far more often.

I actually don't like excessively vocalized appreciation. If I do something it's because I want to, and it's really annoying when people act like it's more than it is. Usually I'm just doing what an ideal social contract would dictate for mutual peace and prosperity, but people take it like I'm some hippie doing selfless things for them.

For example, if I bring coffee, it's because I was already getting coffee and it's a lot more efficient in all ways for me to supply them with coffee than each one getting coffee on their own. That's not really a big deal, but some people act like it is. Some people.

Part of being gracious, is to accept gratitude...no matter how small you feel the gesture was.

PEACE...
it means to be in the midst
of noise, trouble and strife
and still be calm
in your heart.

I accept it, then I go and complain on the internet about it.
