Just A Simple Thank You
Today, let’s take a step back, take a deep breath and say THANK YOU.
Who do you thank? Well, that’s your job to figure out. I feel that thank you is an under used word in today’s language. Just opposite to the word “sorry”. People say sorry all of the time, but are they really truely sorry? Typically not, becuase they may be saying sorry for the tenth time and in essence, if you were sorry, you wouldn’t be sorry for the same thing over and over again.
Everyone has something to be thankful for, whether it is a family member, their health or a good beach day.
I know I am thankful for my family. Without a doubt, they have been the most influential part of my life. There are some parents that have a path for their child, my parents, let me find my own path. They taught me what I needed to know, they gave me money when I was eating white bread and duck sauce for dinner my tools, and said, now its your call, now its your move. In the end, I am thankful for that because I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing today without them. So thank you Steve, Stef and Jay.
Thank You
Awh Chrissssss, that’s adorable. pfffffft, lay off me. Every now and then, everyone has to take a step back and say thank you. Choose something everyday when you wake up and say thanks, simple.
I guess saying thank you can go both ways. It can make you feel great about a certain something and it can also make someone else’s day. The most rewarding part of coaching, specifically field hockey for my club players is having them say thanks to me. No money or possession could mount up to someone being thankful for your support, for having an impact on someones future has no price tag.
You are never too busy, never too “stressed” to say thank you. Make someones day and say thanks. Im sure they deserve it.
You could go as far as hugging someone like the video below as well. It’s sad how such small tasks and appreciations have become less and less apart of the everyday life.
Peace. Love & Thanks.

That’s so weird that you posted this because since I’ve got back from the DR I’ve done a lot of thinking and had to do a lot of writting, mostly reflection. It made me think of this Free Hugs video I saw once (the one in your post, cause that’s all I wanted to do was just hug everyone!! If everyone just got a good hug everyday, even from a complete stranger the world would be a much better place. Nothing needs to be said when you give someone a hug, but it always makes you feel good in some way. It’s very bizarre that you put this on here and I read it, cause I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought of this since I’ve been back. Stop stealing my thoughts Chris!
