At work yesterday, someone said something wonderful to me. He knows I've been having trouble with a particular manager who is doing her best to get me fired, and he said that if I needed a witness, he would speak up on my behalf. I nearly cried; it was that touching. He knew that they might not even care what he said, and he knew it might get him in trouble, but he said he thought it would be a real shame if I got fired.
As Willy Wonka said, "So shines a good deed . . ." Since things have been so bad lately, it really meant a lot to me, and it reminded me of the importance of telling the people important to you how you value them. (Just in time for Thanksgiving!)
I think this year I'll give Thanksgiving cards to the people at work who make working there a positive experience, and I hope it encourages them to appreciate the people who make their lives brighter.
Do you have anything you do for Thanksgiving to show people you're thankful for them?
