Thanks to those that help me, even if you don't talk back.
Thanking is easy when you get a your welcome in response, but how does it feel when you get nothing at all? I used to take things for granted. Even in all my greatness I would often forget to say thanks or great job today, but thankfully recently that has changed and now thankfulness runs deep in my blood. If you cut me open blood and thankfulness would come spewing out and depending if I have sold my blood that day it could be mostly thankfulness. They say thanking is an art and if that is true I consider myself an artist of the thank. Someone once told me that it is easier to thank then be thanked and I thought for so long that guy was an idiot, but the idiot was me cause it was actually me who told myself that in the first place, but it turned out I was wrong and right at the same time I just didn't know it yet. When I first started thanking it became addictive I would thank people I didn't even know and thank people I did know numerous times. Then I started thanking animals, horses, cattle, badgers anything I could find. One day the thought occured to me who am I forgetting, who does the most work without any thanks at all? The things we really take for granted and who need a lot of thanks are things who can't say your welcome back, we call these things appliances and from that moment on I vowed to make sure I thank those things and make sure they know I care. Sure I spend time with the wife and kids, but after they are all tucked in I say thank you to my washer and dryer and dish washer and even that red headed step child called the garbage disposal. How many of you have hugged a light bulb recently? I wouldn't recommend a hot one, but if you are changing the light bulb and one is going in the trash that might be a good time to say thanks or great job giving us light for those several months. I am not some nut who talks to everything, but I am one of those nuts who thanks everything. I am not telling you to make out with a light socket and believe me you don't want to do that, but I am telling you that being thankful is something that will come the more you do it and that there is no shame in publicly thanking a nail that holds up your diploma or family picture. As for me I am now a thanker whether it be human or not I will give thanks and I suggest next time something or someone helps you, you don't let them or it go without saying thanks. I just hugged my computer and told it how much I cared and now is your opportunity to thank yours. Just to clarify I don't use any drugs this is all in my mind naturally. Thanks so much for reading and until next time in the words of Biff I am going to make like a tree and get outta here.
