Not only did I clean the entire house today - I also picked up my in laws from the airport, bought them groceries, bought myself groceries and made a delicious homemade Hungarian meal from scratch. Yes I am amazing. But I feel like I should totally get a prize for doing all this and what did I get? Not much. Sob.
What would really make me feel appreciated anyway? I think I have been watching far too many movies where one simple little thing makes all the difference and the "amazing person" feels so overwhelmed with appreciation. Well this is real life honey - I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. Besides, I know that I did all that, and in record time too.
I am starting to see little things crop up, things that make me aware that people appreciate me and the things I do. I made my sister in law laugh for about 2 hours today - not because I am funny, but because I lack skills at putting together furniture and she thought it was hilarious. She even made fun of my "practical Pam" moniker! Just because I had a bunch of leftover parts and used a screwdriver like a hammer!
I was also very nicely surprised by an early birthday present from my Mom. She hid a card on my book shelf and I just found it, a week after she left it there! It held a cute little card and a cheque - that I will happily spend on myself.
So I guess I just have to be on the lookout for the little things that show me that I am appreciated and loved. There will be no music, no dance scene, but I guess I can pretend!
