Day 422

Good morning!  My name is Lauren and I'm a grateful, recovering alcoholic/addict.  I know I feel good when people tell me thank you for something that I have done for them, so I need to tell them thank you when they have done things for me.  There are so many times people do things, and I just say, "Thanks!"  But if I took 5 more seconds and looked them in the eye and really said, "Thank you." and gave them a little more of a reason why, maybe personalized it a little.  It means so much more.  Maybe even specifically calling someone or writing them a thank you note.  Actually taking time, instead of spitting out words that naturally come out (or at least were supposed to have been taught to come out when someone does something for you.)  My grandma writes thank you notes every Christmas for the gifts she got, she writes down each specifc gift she received.  Nowadays, people don't do that.  No one takes the time. Everyone is "too busy."  We text, we facebook we email.  Everything is so fast-paced.  So I know I need to slow-down and just be grateful, and thank those who help me.  I am very appreciative of those who do help, but I need let them know that.  They need to personally know how grateful I am, how thankful I am of their love and support.  So thank you. Thank you God, thank you Chris,  Mom & Dad, Desert Palms, friends and family I don't have time to mention everyone on here, but thanks you!  And this isn't the only thank you you will get.  :)  That's all I got for today.  Have a great one!
