Answer 1

I'll take some time to thank YOU for reminding me and many other people the importance of this. Thank you. :)

Answer 2

I agree! We should appriecate the things the people in our lives do for us!  Such as my dad: Teaching me to stay calm in business!

Answer 3

amen

Answer 4

I second that .... we always do that - find more time, be more polite to new people rather than people who are part of our life.

Answer 5

Blessing, you are so right and that name fits you.  You are a blessing to most, including me.  We always take the little things for granted and then one day, they are gone.  I miss my dad so much...even though he passed away in 1995.  I am now taking care of my mom with Alzheimers, she is 86.  It is not easy..sometimes, its like not even my mom anymore, ya know?  But i made a promise to my dad that i would take care of her and i do....every single day.  She knows that and i want her to remember me that way.  Just like my dad remembers that i also took care of him while he was sick.  I thank all of my online friends for there support and other members of my family.  I am thankful for my 5 grandkids, even though the oldest has autism.  They are all very special to me.  I thank God every day for the strength he is giving me to do the things i have to do.

Answer 6

I agree.

The very few people in my life mean a lot to me.  My mother and my husband most of all.  

Life is short.  We should be more appreciative to have a few special people in it.

Answer 7

Yes, and thank you for pointing it out.

We can even thank people we don't appreciate:

the cop who just gave you a speeding ticket:

Thanks for helping to keep me safe, officer! (with a nice smile).

or a friendly wave at the guy who gives you the finger in traffic.

Continue doing good and Great things like this! I think you are a Genius! Continue in exploring the world and learn more like you are up to now!

Answer 10

Answer 11

Absolutely!  I just thanked my daughter -- for being sweet, compliant and never complaining.  She's 16, so I know it's difficult!
