Mythos & Marginalia

life notes between the lines and along the edges


What It Means

Is it a word we say enough
for favours, for occasions, for
gifts of time and kindness?
   Thank you.
   To strangers, family, friends
and lovers, do we express all
the gratitude we feel for both
the significant and the simple
everyday experiences we are
truly thankful for?
   Thank you: two words that
mean more than you know.
   Are we thankful enough?
   Gratitude and generosity go
hand in hand; do you express
what it means to you to the
people who need to hear it?
   Sometimes ‘Thank you’ is
not enough, but it is a start.
   Thank you.
