A Moment By The Fire

You can kind of see Jake here with his sister's dog Chewy.
Jake is a dog whisperer according to his sisters.
They do love him.  He loves them back.

 I was sitting by the fire this evening and Jake came to sit by me.  He told me how he was driving home in the truck, checked his mirror, and then did a double take.  He then quickly opened the window and retrieved the note and money that his boss had left for him.  The note said, "Thanks for always being on time." It was a good amount of money and Jake said, "Maybe it's worth being on time after all even though I'm sometimes the only one there."

Jake works early in the morning and he works long hours.  He is thankful for his job and might enjoy some of it, but it isn't easy for him.  I like the moments like this when he sees that he is appreciated.  It is good to feel valued for the good things we do!

We are both thankful that the money didn't blow away before he noticed it too!
