About Me

My photo
I want to welcome you to come in and have a cup of coffee or tea with me. let me introduce myself. My name is Diann, wife to Bryan, my soulmate, mother and stepmother to 7, and Nana to 19 of the most beautiful grandchildren. I do work full time, but love it when I have free time. I like to watch movies, read good books, spend time with my husband and have my grandkids over. We use to live near the Nolichuckey River in Greeneville TN. We had two Welsh Pembroke Corgis. The male, his name was Boomer, he passed away on May 31st 2012. The female, her name is Caya (short for Cayanne..like the pepper) she is now being spoiled rotten by my father-in-law. We have moved to El Dorado AR due to a job relocation for Bryan. Now our fur babies number 3 cats, 2 of whom adopted us, and one that we rescued. Indo (short for Inuendo), Lil' Bit and Sophie. Then we rescued 2 of the cutest lab mix pups, one blonde, Loki and one chocolate, Coda. They are brothers and at this point they are now 7 months old and weigh a minimum of 60 lbs. so much for the puppy stage. This profile has been updated and the story continues.....

Appreciation...Does it Really Exisit?

I know that we are suppose to do things without expecting anything in return. That's what I have always been told. Do your best as unto the Lord. I agree with that 100%. But does that mean no matter what you are doing? Even if it's a job? What about going above and beyond what is expected? Do you get any thank you's from the people that should be giving them? I don't think so. Those people are few and far between.

I believe if you are doing something to better another person's life then do as unto the Lord. I believe that if you are doing something to bring peace to those in need...do as unto the Lord. I believe if you are doing your job to help your family, do as unto the Lord. In everything you do...well you know...

What about your job? If you have times, and we all do, that you get behind and just want to get caught up and it's something you can do at home, then why is it that your are treated like you commited a crime? Being told, you don't get paid for taking work home, even if it betters your performance at work, what's the big deal?

Well, I guess it's a big deal. There are people out there making deal after deal after deal without thinking of the people who helped get them there. They will "swallow" an elephant, but then turn around and "choke" on a gnat. I guess what I'm trying to say is big money means nothing when they are the ones playing the game, but if one of their employees tries to make things better for the company, they choke as if you poisoned them.

I don't know if this is making any sense. I know this goes on everyday all around the world and has forever. I guess just once I would like to know that I am appreciated. They say, "well you have a job". Yeah I do, but we all like to hear "you are doing a great job" ..." I appreciate that you were willing to take the work home to get caught up"...."I appreciate you".....

If you're reading this and you're the boss, please tell your employees how much they mean to you. They are the one's keeping you up and running. If you're the employee...remember...you probably won't get that pat on the back, so just keep on keepin' on......

Well people...

Keep the sun outta your eyes...but let the "SON" always shine on you"...
