THE MOST POWERFUL...words

Life is moving at a breakneck pace, and each of us is forced to stay connected to our emails, our iPhones and and driven by our need to update our Facebook status at the dinner table. 

I was going through my day, In this same rush that every relatively busy person gets trapped in. And unfortunately my inspiration for why I'm writing this because for the first time, I caught myself in the "pass through" while checking out at a grocery store. 

We're all guilty of at some point in our lives "passing through" and being so busy with something else that we forget to say two of the most powerful words that have ever existed. 

Thank you.

Most of us have forgotten to say “thank you” for even the simplest of things that we receive. From a bagger in the grocery store, a waiter in a restaurant, or even someone holding the door for you.

By the time we are two or three years old, most of us have learned that people like it when we say “thank you.” 

Attentive parents gently remind their children,

“And what do we say when someone does something nice for us?”

And some of our parents may have even showed us what to say when someone is rude, which is also two words. But I digress. 

By kindergarten, we have subconsciously learned the value of  “thank you."

In Life, when you are out in the world, whether you are in public, in your home, school, work, or any environment, Thank you is two of the most important, wonderful, beautiful and incredibly sweet to say.


So thank you for reading this.

Thank you for being apart of a crazy family, and thank you for accepting me into it with open arms. 

Thank you for the support everyone continuously gives with open hearts. 

So, when waiting in the line at the grocery store, or sitting down to dinner, or even when your dog is laying in front of you waiting for your phone to connect to wifi so your Facebook status can finally upload, I strongly encourage you to look up, and say thank you.

I'm thankful everyday, and now I'm aware of it. 


Be thankful, 
Patrick Ciera.
