Do you feel appreciated? I really like to feel appreciated, as does everyone, I am sure.
But the truth of the matter is, most people are underappreciated.
When I was married, I did everything around the house except fix broken things and cut the grass. Things don’t break that often, and the grass only needs to be cut every 10 days. I, though, had jobs that happened every day. Laundry had to be done. Food had to be cooked. Dishes had to be washed, and so on. I never felt appreciated, but there is one time when I truly did appreciate someone else. That was the day my a/c died. I had the dryer going, and it was about 89 degrees outside, and all of a sudden I noticed the thermostat was reading 80 degrees inside! I felt up near the a/c air vents, and my hand came away sweaty. It felt like the heater was on, not the a/c! That is when I appreciated the air conditioning repair guy. I called him, and he came out that very day. The heating and cooling company dispatched him as soon as they could, and I was happy about that. I don’t really know what was wrong with the air conditioner, but whatever it was, he had it fixed that same day. He had all kinds of a/c repair parts on the truck, and he had what we needed. He put in that new part, and soon our HVAC system was humming and bringing much-needed cold air through the ducts. I really appreciated the a/c service guy that day!
