Pat on the Back

It's not often, as adults, that we have someone (other than our loved ones) give us a pat on the back. When it happens, it sure feels great.

I had the pleasure of such an experience this passed weekend. My boss and his lovely wife had a dinner/informal meeting at their home with all of the reps that are working for them. We enjoyed some excellent pizza, and cool, refreshing adult beverages. We swapped ideas, strategies, and stories. It was fun and informative and it's been a long time since I been in that type of environment.

Towards the end of the gathering, my boss's wife presented me with a personalized poem, some sweet and spicy pepper jelly and a bottle of my favorite adult beverage with a "You're a Star" note on it.

It caught me totally off guard, and it was so nice! I felt like I was back in school and had won "the citizen of the month" award, without even knowing I'd been nominated.

It was an extremely kind gesture, and such a pleasant surprise! That pat on the back really made my weekend!

Thank you Ron and Carol, you're the best!
