Thank You

When is that last time you said thank you to someone? I mean just said "thank you." Not, thank for .... (naming whatever it was you received), just "thank you."

When is the last time you meant thank you, as in, an actually sign of appreciation. Appreciation for the actions of another? When is the last time your thank you was about another, not yourself?

Whenever you say thank you for this or thank you for that, aren't you sort of stroking your own back? If you just tell the person you are address thank you, and you haven't included your own excitement, enjoyment or gain. Then it is truly a thank you and the focus is about them. Isn't that what "thank you" is suppose to be about anyways?

Funny thing, as this was being written with the idea in mind of saying to Dave from I like Vinyl, "Thank you." We received a text message from someone who is on her way here and when she arrives my human will keep her mouth shut and just say to her also, simple "thank you".

We all want to talk about ourselves. But sometimes the message is clearer when we don't say much at all.

So when I am passing down the hall or come into the room you are in and I rub against you and then walk away. Don't say: funny dog, or strange dog, or unsociable. Maybe it is my way of just passing by for a few seconds to say nothing more then "thank you!"
