Do you? Other than on the obvious occasions, I mean. Think about it; giving thanks and feeling gratitude is uplifting and makes life so much more pleasurable, not to speak about the wonders it does to our health 
I shall give you some examples:
- When your car starts
- When you fall and don’t hurt yourself
- When a space is opened up for you just as you come
- When the chirping of a bird reminds you of spring coming
- The garbage collectors for keeping your space clean
- The road workers for keeping the roads safe
- When something shows up just when you need it the most
- A drink of water when you are thirsty
I just thanked my oven for keeping me warm in the snow. What, or who, did you just thank?
I give thanks but I always give thanks to somebody who is real and not to imaginary things. Yesterday I thanked the tech that came and fixed the computer connection that I lost most of the day. Why I thanked anybody for that is a mystery. Somebody didn’t do their job right and I must have been on the phone for hours trying to get it straightened out. But the poor tech wasn’t at fault so I thanked him. He had to work out in the freezing cold through no fault of his own.
Now, may I give thanks to you for letting me have this little rant. LOL
Enjoyed your rant
You probably saved the guy’s day by being kind to him and that’s a good thing!
I thank synchronicity of life for summarising the thought patterns inside my head with posts like these from beautiful people in the past/present, showing that we are still connected through something higher.. that abstract that will continue to cause random acts of kindness when it is most wanted.
Thanks for stopping by, here’s to more random acts to kindness!
After delivering my child safely and soundly (via c-section & modern medicine), I give thanks everyday. She is my blessing.
Often the act of giving thanks and feeling blessed comes through hardship. I am glad you have this fantastic feeling, it will stay with you always and make your life brighter.
