"...just the perfect blendship."

 Have you thanked anyone recently? I don't mean send someone a Hallmark Card, with a cute thankful sentiment....where you just sign you name.  I mean actually tell someone how much you appreciate them and that you are thankful for their presence in your life. Or, perhaps, write them a note thanking them. Thinking about this, I realize that the older I get, the more reasons I have to thank folks. Therefore, time is wasting! I need to thank people, while I still can!!!!

Yesterday, I got notice that a teacher, I knew, had recently passed away. How many of his students had made it a point to thank him, for his years of service?  Judging from the number of teachers, in my academic years, that I had bothered to thank, probably not very many. Well, don't you want to make some old teacher's day or maybe week? Find out where they are and thank them, now, before it is too late.

You know, we generally have more regrets about things we did not do, than for things we have actually done. 

Okay, so maybe you don't think you want to thank a teacher.  My teachers were fairly old in the 1960's, so they are all long gone. But, how about the friend that has kept in touch with you, for years, or the friend that calls you, once in a while, just to check on your well-being. Sure, we appreciate them and their concern, but do we ever just thank them for being there for us? 

I know you've heard the expression, "It's the thought that counts". Well, your friends are not "thought readers". Reach out and thank someone right now! Do it today.

Thank you for reading this note. I appreciate you.
