We don’t get out as much these days.
We don’t see the people we used to see like we used to see them.
Our lives are missing the social contact we once had, at work or in the community.
When you are physically distanced or isolated, you don’t get, or are not allowed, to say the simple things.
We don’t hear “thank you” like we once did.
Without our day-to-day transactional ways we, generally, live our lives with fewer opportunities to express gratitude or appreciation,
Not going out, not getting what we’re used to, there is less of a reason to say it, or hear it.
Yet, as messed up as our little world seems at times, we do have so much to be thankful for.
Today, find something, or someone, to be thankful for and say it:
Thank you for being there.
Thank you for wearing a mask.
Thank you for adding a smile to my day
Thank you for making me think.
Thank you for being you.
Thank you.
