A Gentle Reminder to say “Thank You”
by a good friend of Feed Your Good Dog!

A Child’s Blessing
Pure Gratitude Simply Stated

Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the world so sweet.
Thank you for the birds that sing.
Thank you God for everything.

Thank you (not “thanks,” that is like saying yeah instead of yes) for reading the following.

A “thank you” is a gift. I feel good about giving one or receiving one. Saying “thank you” is civil, charming and just plain good manners. If you have a dog, observe their behavior, they are always saying “thank you” in their way.

Giving a “thank you” is a positive exchange for the giver and the recipient. The giver of the “thank you” is recognizing what a spirit or person has done for them or how they have helped them. The recipient of a “thank you” receives the benefit of being appreciated for what they have done. We all want to feel appreciated. People notice when a “thank you” is not extended, it can feel painful and sad.

Some people are so used to texting that to exert the physical energy to open their mouth and say “thank you” takes too much effort. Others are too busy with their lives and feel they do not have the time or it is not important to share a sincere “thank you” or write a “thank you” note. Make the time, it is important and will be a positive reflection on you.

Recently, has someone helped you in some way, bought you a gift, extend a kindness? If so, did you thank them properly?

Who did you say “thank you” to today? A “thank you” is uplifting…please feel free to leave a comment and share how you have recently thanked someone.

Thank you!

    Hey T.K,read your blog. How true and it seems to me more and more that people never even give a thought to say “thank you”.
    It is a little thing that can mean so much. Thank you, for sharing with me and others.
