In our life, we have rarely expressed our gratitude to the one who'd lived those years with usIn fact, we don't have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones close to us the ones so easily overlookedIf I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: give it now! While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on itSaying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world's happiness

       Saying thanks not only brightens someone else's world, it brightens yoursIf you're feeling left out, unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to othersIt may be just the medicine you need

       Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude immediatelyIn that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence speak up the first time you have the chance

       Once a young ministerMark Brian, was sent to a remote parish of Kwakiuti Indians in British ColumbiaThe Indians, he had been told, did not have a word for thank youBut Brian soon found that these people had exceptional generosityInstead of saying thanks, it is their custom to return every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior kindnessThey do their thanks

       I wonder if we had no words in our vocabulary for thank you, would we do a better job of communicating our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?

       Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that transforms people all around usincluding ourselvesFor no one ever misunderstands the melody of a grateful heartIts message is universal; its lyrics transcend (超越) all earthly barriers; its music touches the heavens
