Gratitude ~ saying Thank YOU!

...showing gratitude for those that do the smallest gestures...have you ever thought to yourself when someone did something nice, gave you something, fetched you something, made you something...just showed you kindesses from their Heart...didn't ask for anything in return... just did it because...
~
how many times ... has someone done something for you like this....
~
and
~
did you say Thank You? or show gratitude?
~
if it is a wife, a husband, a child or a friend...is it taken for granted? is it any less a kindness because they are close to you or because it is "expected"...?

Giving Thanks for many, many things...I have learned through lessons that gratitude is the smallest of Small as well as the largest of Large...just a little Thank You...can warm a heart ... and show appreciation ...
~
it is the gesture that someone does something kind for us...or that Mother Earth shows us one of her amazing gifts...a sunrise, a sunset...baby birds...

THANK YOU!
Love,
