Sometimes I think as adults we just go on living our day to day and forget the simple joys of life. We forget to smile, say hi to people just because. Sometime because of the heavy work load, stress of life, and just day in and day out trials, we think no one notices the things we do for others. So intern we just stop doing them and in the end we become bitter workaholics that wear the same thing, eat the same thing, say the same, and walk around saying "well why should I, no one will notice anyway." and we do this every day. But its funny, like in this book, all it takes is one person to say "good job" or "somebody loves you" to change our whole out look for at least the day.I just got done reading this book and like all of us Mr. Hatch was a grumpy old mad that thought nobody loved him because he was never told. But one Valentine's day he got a box of chocolates with a card that read, "Somebody loves you." and low and behold, Mr. Hatch's whole out look on life changed because somebody loved him. So he went out to find who had sent him this candy and no one said anything. Mr. Hatch was very upset on this out come because no one verbally told him they loved him. When everyone noticed he was back to him old self again they asked him what was wrong. When he told them, of course every spoke up about how much they loved what he did and appreciated what he did for them. So I guess what the moral of this story is, weather people tell you "good job" or "I love you", or weather they don't doesn't mean you are not appreciated. So don't turn into an old grump and stop doing things for people just because no one gives you a pat on the back because someone, somewhere loves you. Now see even a child's book can apply to adults.
