You are so right that many of us do not give thanks for what we have today. Even a sincere smile will brighten someone's day. You poem says a great deal in its message. I found it a bit hard to read with the one long paragraph. However, its message is true. I went to the grocery store last week. I happened to just smile at a man waiting in a truck. I had to wait for the cars to move so I could continue. The man shared that he had one leg only. I brought him a riding cart from the store. When I checked out at the register, the cashier asked how I was. I told him I was super since I had two legs, and I could walk with no problems. Good job and thanks for sharing.

Comment from seaglass
In our busy world and lives, we too often fail to show gratitude and appreciation. I have recently tried to retrain myself to be more mindful of what people around me are doing.

Sometimes a warm hug is a more sincere thanks than cars or dollars. I love it when people hug me to day thank you for something I have done for them or for something they learned from me. Blessings Patricia

Comment from royowen
I loved your heartfelt and emotive expression Vance. For it's true that people in so many inadvertently simple ways are both helpful and selflessly help in ways they can't imagine, then of course somebody simply saying they like your work can lift one's spirits, of course there's the beauty of somebody going out of the way to help,, well done, Vance, you are a thoughtful, God fearing friend, even though we haven't actually met, but yet we're are brothers! Well done, bro, blessings, Roy.

Thanks so much Roy, it is always a pleasure and uplifting experience to hear from you! True Gratitude deeply felt is certainly the most wonderful feeling one might experience and I'm sure that's why GOD wants us to be aware and truly thankful for all the blessings we are given and not just spend all of our time in sorrow and regret for the dark sides of life. All the very best dear friend and brother....you too are a Blessing for which I am truly GRATEFUL! Vance
