I appreciate it

It may seem like a recurring theme but I wanted to write about today being National Providers Day. Today is the day we recognize those who take care of others. I am so appreciative of those who work so hard to provide adequate care for others, and that list is long.

I think about those who work in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, home health, hospice, after school, daycare, etc. There are people working in those professions that are in it strictly for the money but, more often than not, people work in those professions because it is their calling. It is truly amazing to me how willing people are to help others.

Today's word is a challenge to us all: "Take time today to appreciate someone who does something you take for granted."

If I tried to list all the things I take for granted it would take a while, and I would miss something because I take so much for granted. But, trust me, I appreciate all the things that people do that I so often overlook. Thanks for making sure there is food on the shelves when I shop, that roads are cleared for traveling, that electricity is delivered to my house, that when I turn on the spigot, potable water comes out. THANK YOU!

Thanks, also, to Trish who does so much for our family. To our kids that bring me more joy than any one human ever deserved. To my family that provides truth stranger than fiction. To all my friends that are an extended family that I am so blessed to have. To all those that pray for me, support me, care about me, and love me. Don't ever think that I don't appreciate it - I DO!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
