Many years ago, someone I worked for told me something about appreciation that stuck with me. At first when I heard it, I was shocked... and I never shared it with anyone because, when illustrating his point, my former boss didn't use nice words and his example sounded vulgar, but I now realize sometimes that's the best way to describe something. He said, "Someone who is used to tasting honey can't eat shit, and someone who is used to shit can't appreciate honey."
I know my former boss's words are not polite, but they sound much better than the words that are running through my head right now.
Now, I'm going to just put this link here:
