Wasted Effort...

This morning I stumbled across a snip on Pinterest which said something like: "Don't put your energy and effort where it's not appreicated." Wow, that's me. That's where I'm at with my life. I reckon if my effort for someone doesn't even merit a "Thank you" then I'm wasting my time and effort because it's not appreciated. If it's not appreciated, what value does it have? I'm serious.
