Thankyou...

Post by bhawna91 »

Namaste, :F0
In school we were taught to mind our p’s and q’s. We were taught that Please and Thank you were magic keys with which you could open all doors.

As adults we forgot all of that. Think about it. When is the last time you thanked someone?

Sure, you thank people when they do a favour at your request. Yet, when is the last time you thanked someone just for doing their job well, or for adding some joy to your life?

When is the last time you thanked someone who was polite – for e.g. someone who waited a safe distance at the ATM kiosk and didn’t rush you while you struggled getting your card out from your bag? When is the last time you thanked someone who smiled at you at the check-out counter? When is the last time you thanked the doorman for opening the door? Or the chaiwallah for getting you your tea on time? Or the librarian who helped you locate a book that you were unable to find? It’s his/her job – what’s there to thank about? Or is there?

When is the last time you thanked God just for being there? Not because He gave you something that you asked for… just for being there in your life.
Counting our blessings is one thing, thanking the Maker for his presence is another. :F0 :)
When is the last time you thanked a loved one? Yes, you tell them love you a thousand times; how often do you say thank you? Thank you for making the omelette today. Or, Thank you for taking the time out to clear the cabinet. Do you say thank you for the mundane stuff that your spouse does for you everyday, that you have grown accustomed to and without which your day wouldn’t run smooth enough. Do you acknowledge and appreciate what your loved ones do for you? Do you take cognizance of the little stuff – the background stuff that is taken for granted?

We are quick to complain if the pizza doesn’t arrive within thirty minutes or if it does not have enough toppings according to our expectations. We wouldn’t dream of calling up and thanking if we thought that today the pizza was baked just right. Would be quite kooky to do that, wouldn’t it?
It doesn’t take too much of our time to thank someone. It does make someone’s day, on the other hand.You see people are doing the best they know and can at all times.
What everyone craves for is a little appreciation; a little acknowledgement that they make a difference. :F0 :gL
Give it a try. Thank people. Thank them for being there in your life. Thank them for adding colour to it. Thank them for a job well done. Thank them even if there isn’t any special reason. After all, the ordinary is extraordinary just by the fact that it endures timelessly without complaint and without expectation. :F0 :)
Thank you for reading this article. Thank you for visiting this site. Thank you for sharing the world with me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Spread the cheer. It will thank you back! :F0 :F0 :gL

Such truth in your words! When I cashiered at a local grocery store, sometimes it was the little things that made the day brighter. If someone genuinely smiled at me to share their happiness, that energy would part the clouds of my day. If a genuine smile does that, then a genuine "thank you," does more.

:F0 :F0 Thank you for this post, Bhawna Love. Inlakesh :F0 :F0
