Expressing thanks

Leave a comment

How do you express your gratitude? – Not a bad question from the Daily Writing prompt.

I do this in many ways. Usually a direct show of appreciation. A hug, a firm handshake. A kiss. I share what it means to me verbally.

Lots of times I’ll follow up with an email or text. My better half is the card sender and a damn good one.

When I get birthday wishes on Facebook I reply to each one instead of just a like.

Sometimes I’ll make things for family and friends. Lots of times photographs. And I hope to make a lot more handmade gifts of appreciation for people.

Sometimes a gift or treat for a meal.

I like that this question reminded me of something I used to do a lot more often for my better half. I’ll have to get to that this morning.

Don’t leave this world without telling people what they mean to you.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
