Thank You !

How do you express your gratitude?

How to express gratitude ?

A simple question, but requiring varying degrees of response and application.

If someone holds a door open for you, or steps aside to let you pass, then a simple “Thanks” or “Thank You” is enough.

I’m of a generation that was taught to be polite. So much so, that if I am not extended the same degree of politeness in return it makes me angry.

If I hold a door or step aside for someone and they don’t acknowledge the act, I will say “Thank You” for them. Loudly !!

For larger acts of kindness or helpfulness I will show my gratitude by sending flowers and / or gifts.

And finally, where gifts or flowers don’t seem appropriate then I resort to my standby, a good meal at a nice restaurant.
