African American woman at work and the words "It's Time to Be Grateful for Work It's a Good Thing to Have"

Today is a good day to realize it is time to be grateful for work because it’s a good thing to have. Work provides us with an income that makes many things in life possible. So, show your work some appreciation.

There are some people who are grateful for work and other people who hate going to work each day. If you are one of the latter, it is time for an attitude adjustment. Let today be the day that you start appreciating your job.

We work for many reasons.A few of them include:

  • money
  • recognition
  • sense of accomplishment
  • relieve boredom
  • intellectual stimulation

No matter what your reason for working is, be grateful for the work. Not only should you be grateful, you should show your gratitude. Showing your gratitude will make your workdays more pleasant. When people are grateful for something, they:

  • say thank you
  • smile
  • treat it with respect
  • speak of it kindly
