Appreciation Vs Apathy

Its election night and I am proud of the country. All politics aside, we finally have voted in a majority government. It time to get some work done in Parliament. There has been far to much name calling and finger pointing for a bunch of grown ups who are suppose to be running this country. Tonight at Dale Carnegie, one my class members had a fantastic quote... " Apathy is the enemy of democracy." I can take this statement farther, as it is what I do... Apathy is actually the enemy of all relationships. It is just so easy to forget to let someone know how important they are to us. We pleasantly greet acquaintances, go out of our way for a friend, but are we doing the extra for those closest to us? Appreciation not Apathy, in all relationships. I would appreciate my daughters cleaning their bathrooms. Hmm, how come I think that they will chose apathy over appreciation in this case.
