Thanks for Giving

In this season of Thanksgiving we speak of thanks for those things which are material, but often do not recognize the smaller things for which we should be thankful.

Far too often you do so much for so many and never hear THANK YOU! You give and give and give far beyond your mental, physical and emotional means, and receive very little thanks in return. You are a special person and you deserve to at least be acknowledged for what you do for others. So, if no one has told you THANK YOU recently, then all me.....THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU for being so open to giving from your heart.

THANK YOU for being the type of person that stands by your beliefs.

THANK YOU for allowing others to rest their weary selves on your shoulders, and you stand strong until they were ready to move.

THANK YOU for having such a big, open heart that more people flocked to you because they saw straight to your goodness.

THANK YOU for not allowing yourself to blame yourself for the shortcomings of others.

THANK YOU for not holding onto the hurt and pain.

THANK YOU FOR GIVING MORE OF YOURSELF THAN YOU EVER GOT IN RETURN!

I could go on, but you get the drift. STOP and take a minute to thank yourself for being the kind, generous and giving person that you are! You are exceptional. If no one else recognizes that fact, then I will for them and the others that didn't take a second to THANK YOU for being the wonderful person you are.

Don't lull in the selfishness of others, but swim in the knowledge that your reward shall come by way of others sooner than later.

Thanks for giving of your time, energy, heart, soul, effort and love. You shall have all your rewards soon enough!
