Thank You is not just a magic word – it is a very powerful word. Don’t you think so? Welcome to another beautiful week of #ThankfulThursdays – a day when we practice Thankfulness, Gratitude and Appreciation.
Here is a quote prompt this week
It is in human nature to look for a little appreciation from somewhere. Appreciation motivates us, it gives that little push we need to go through our lives. A little goes a long way. I make it a point to thank often. Not just in my #ThankfulThursday Posts but in person too.
I always thank the person at the cash counter, the cab driver, the watchman. And I like it when they say ‘welcome madam’. Thanking someone for small things doesn’t make me small. But it gives me a sense of peace.
It is also important to say thank you to the people who you are the closest to you. Not just because they are your near and dear ones but most of the time you tend to forget to appreciate them. Humans tend to take others for granted – especially the ones close to them.
Let’s do an exercise for the next two days.
- Next time you visit your grocery store thank the cashier when he gives you the change
- Next time you take the Uber or Ola thank the driver when they drop you
- Next time someone keeps the lift open for you thank them
These are little things in life but they give you immense peace in mind. My little one is now very active. He has become the flag bearer of cleanliness! He is always helping either me or the maid or the cook. The other day I was gardening in the balcony and he tagged along. He picked up the little stool and brought to me so that I could sit and do my work! I told him thank you Bluey! He replied back ‘yallum’ – which I am assuming was welcome in his language!
Last but not the least – Thank you, readers, for reading and sharing your thoughts with me. Without your love there’s no point in me writing anything!

Yes this is something I passionately believe.The difficult part is to remember frequently that thank you helps both .The one saying and the one receiving. Practicing thankfulness is infact a way of life
Love it and thank-you for the beautiful pics in the form of teachings:)
I loved the quote that you gave as prompt Tina. Not only to outsiders silent gratitude wont work for family too.
Love the quote-graphics you put in your posts Tina.. And I can just imagine how cutely the vallum must sound – he is just adorable! Its a credit to you that he is being thoughtful in getting you a stool; kids learn from us and you have truly instilled good values in him!
A huge thanks for loving my Mojo – I am blown away by the love and appreciation by all of you on your blogs for me; so unexpected and so much joy in the day for me today! THANK YOU!!!
The word seriously has spiritual powers. If we hear a ‘thank you’ we feel good but if we say ‘thank you’ it makes us much appreciated in our lives.
