Thank You

If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is "thank you," it will be enough. -- Meister Eckhardt

This is the month for gathering our friends and family to feast and express thanksgiving, so I thought it would be appropriate to give a little nudge to remind ourselves to say “thank you” as a matter of course throughout our days. It is such an easy gesture and it almost always uplifts its recipient so the question is, “Do we do say thank you enough?” Is it in your own natural way of being? Are you grateful?

William Arthur Ward expressed it eloquently: “Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.”

And though it may take a few minutes of our time, why not write a little note of thanks to someone who least expects it? Just imagine how much pleasure can be given with that simple act?

A little advice: If you thank someone and they brush it off as no big deal please take the next step to say, “Well ,it made a difference to me so thank you again.”

Here’s a lovely lecture to get you motivated. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/laura_trice_suggests_we_all_say_thank_you.html
