Good Gravy: Doing work that is meaningful should be all we really need

Recognition for the work and other good things that we do in our lives is something we all hope to receive at some point. I've had many great bosses and mentors who were very good at offering the occasional pat on the back for a job well done. I've also had those who either could not or would not offer any kind of recognition for a job well done, no matter the circumstances. We've all been there.
