Be Out Loud with Your Gratitude

by Jennifer V. Miller

 

 

 

 

Today is the American holiday of Thanksgiving. I love a holiday that celebrates gratitude.

Novelist Gladys Bronwyn Stern once said, “Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone”.

I agree with Gladys. Don’t be silent. Let someone know how much they mean to you. It doesn’t need to be a grand gesture. Just a small “hey, I appreciate all that you do for me” will suffice.

And by the way, thanks for taking time to read this blog post. I really DO appreciate all of the people who stop by The People Equation and read what I have to say.

Blessings to you this day, and every day.

    Lisa,

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it would be fun for the three of us to (finally!) all meet in real life.

    David,

    Nice article– thanks for sharing! I agree with your assertion that sincerity is a very key part of praising someone.
