How often do you say "Thank You" to the one you love?
I know you’re thankful for plenty, but how often do you say it to the one you love?
Of course you say thank you to the obvious things like in response to, “pass the stuffing.” But this is more a matter of basic courtesy, because you’ve been taught good manners.
This is not what I’m talking about.
You'll also probably say thank you to big things like if you’re given a new car, a new computer, or a surprise party.
“Thank you, honey!”
You better say thank you and in this case - you probably really mean it. After all, you were just substantially gifted.
This is not what I’m talking about.
What I’m talking about is this: deliberately take notice of the little things like the smile, the kiss, or the thoughtful question or compliment. Don’t take a single thing for granted. Say thank you. If you don’t say it now, you may forget. And before you know it a whole lifetime will have passed and 1000 Thank You-s that could have been -- never were.
Small (but extremely valuable) opportunities lost.
Start with “Thank you for loving me” and then list at least 10 things they did within the last 24 hours.
Write them down and share them today.
Do it again tomorrow.
The next day, too.

I often say ''thank you for loving me''. I think whenever I feel really loved by the person I love, words really not enough to give thanks for that. It's a delightful feeling. Thanks for this great article. I know it was written 3 years ago but it's still very refreshing.
