Wednesday morning bliss.

When I worked at In-N-Out,
they were always using different ways to reward their employees for good performance.

Sometimes it's be a gift card or a candy bar. Sometimes a t-shirt or a custom schedule.

But for a while, they would highlight an employee for their exceptional customer service
by awarding them with a tire pressure gauge.


It sounds strange, I know, but the story behind the pressure gauge was a true one. One about a manager that would do all that he could to make sure the customer was taken care of...no matter what. Even if the thing that customer needs is a tire pressure gauge.

It was a fun reward to receive.
Anyone who had one would wear it in their "pen" pocket on the front of their shirts.
People would ask about them...and you'd have a good story to tell.

Well this morning, as Husband was leaving for work, he kissed me and turned the lamp off.
He walked to the door before he came back to the bed, knelt down and said,

"I forgot to give you something."

He turned the soft light of the lamp back on and placed a small tire pressure gauge on the bed in front of my sleepy eyes.

"This is for being the best wife ever," he said....kissed me...and left for work.


I held it in my hand as I drifted back to sleep..
My heart is full.
