Today's thought is:



If the only prayer you said in your whole life was thank you, that would suffice.
--Meister Eckhart

Have you sincerely thanked someone today? Many people comment that thank-you often sounds insincere nowadays. While saying thank-you is certainly a polite expression, giving a sincere thank-you, in whatever form, can truly warm the heart. It may be through an email message, a personal note, or even a surprise gift.

I recall working two long days and evenings with a group of businesspeople. These long hours were quite productive and resulted in some fine outcomes. Yet I put in more time than I had expected and even delayed my flight home by a day. Wearily, I entered my hotel room on the second night, intending to become brain dead for a few hours. On the table in my hotel room, to my surprise, was a lovely box of Belgian chocolates wrapped in a beautiful ribbon! A note was attached: Thank you for your work with us. I was touched and warmed by the thank-you.

Just for today, I will express my appreciation for someone with a sincere thank-you.


You are reading from the book:



Igniting the Spirit at Work by Marilyn Mason When I first read that I thought it said by Marilyn Manson

Two little words - So simple to say - Mean so much and I dont believe their meaning is lost or diluted when they are genuine. They give the gift of gratitude....

Thank you for That

I appreciate this reminder. A sincere thank you does go a long way. I recall reading somewhere that one way to keep your relationship with your significant other close is to remember to say thank you; that gets forgotten too often, I think.

Thank you for sharing!

(I thought it said Marilyn Manson at first, too...)
