“I appreciate you.” “Thank you, thank you, thank you!!” “I am truly grateful.”
I cannot count the number of times in the past 10 days I have said those words to people at the Dojo, to family, friends, strangers, friends on Facebook, Twitter, other Blogs and in reply to the many comments on my own blog. I have to say though, I never get tired of saying it. They are not just words. It comes genuinely from the heart.
I feel that having an attitude of gratitude can go a long way. It lightens my heart and I am hoping it does the same for the recipient. So today, I want you to know that what do and who you are does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
So, today, no long lists on how to decrease stress, fears or have more time in your life. Today, it’s just, “Thank you for always listening to me and encouraging me. You’re a true friend and I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. Thank you for being you and for everything you do. I appreciate you with all my heart. You’re the best.”
Who do you appreciate? Tell them today. (Telling me is not necessary but pass on the love.)

An attitude of gratitude always makes for a better day. The key is to remember to be grateful. I like the phrase Think, then THANK. Happy UBC.
I like that too, “think then thank.” There is always something to be grateful for and it is important to let those you care about know what they mean to you. I sent this to people closest to my heart each with a special message.
Thank you for stopping in. I am grateful for you.

It has been said that feeling appreciated is the greatest human need. We can feel so neglected in that area in our jobs and our lives in general. It’s so wonderful to hear words of appreciation. Thanks for this post and for encouraging others to express gratitude and appreciation. Love it!
Thank you so much for stopping by Leanne. I love your work as well. I know that it can be lonely out there in the world sometimes and even though we are surrounded by people, can still feel alone and definitely unappreciated and unnoticed. Without appreciating what we have and who is in our lives, we will lose all of it.
Thank you again,
Missy
