thank you

2 simple words. yet it seems as though people find it harder and harder to utter this mere polite phrase.

Be it someone opening a door for you, getting you something, letting you cut in on the road or whatever else it is thank you's are so commonly used yet forgotten.

Thank you was one of the first phrases i taught my son. Although it sounds more like teet-chew he does know that when someone gives him something or does something for him it is the polite thing to say back.

Has human society become numb to the "nice" gene? Have we become so caught up in our own daily lives that we feel as though we're entitled to acts of kindness rather than overwhelmingly grateful.

I try and make it a point to say thank you as much as possible, even for the little things. Am I in the minority with this?

I encourage each and every one of you to make it a point to say thank you at least 3 times in one day. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to reach that small number. You never know maybe you'll make someone's day by appreciating their help.
