No Thanks to Thanks

Do we really have to go through the motions?
Here it is again. That time of the year. Surround yourself with family members and give yourself an excuse to eat way more than you probably should. For some (myself included) it’s just another excuse to watch football. For others it’s a much needed 4 day weekend.
I don’t give enough thanks throughout the year. I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of good people in my life, but I rarely say thanks. An old fashioned thank you is overrated. When was the last time you gave or received a sincere thanks? How many thank yous are genuine?
If you’re thankful for the people in your social circle (offline or online), tell them thank you. Say it with feeling. Say it with your actions. Actually mean it.
Life is short. People, circumstances, and opportunities come and go. The place in time you’re at right now will never come again. Don’t be thankful. Be grateful. Know how fortunate you are.
Thanks for reading this.
I mean it. Really.
