After my last blog entry– “Love and Appreciate”, I was thinking.... Why just say Thank You and have it be forgotten a few weeks later when you can make those two words be memorable!?
For a long time I’ve wanted to say Thank You with a difference, to surprise friends slash relatives, those who are long lost and newly found....
Surprise? You ask.
How? Well By doing something for them as either (eether) a “thank you” or “I remember you”
Why? Why not? Because people – in the past or near present- either (eether) did something for me, somehow the they managed to walk into my life and teach me, guide me, help me, or something of the sort.
I want to say “thank you” in a way that they will remember, I don’t just want to say it – because in a way that can be kinda forgotten. And I always say it and feel as though it can easily slip the mind. This time I want to make those two words memorable.
I want to be able to leave a tiny footprint on their hearts like they did to mine. I want to bring a smile to the faces that braught a smile to mine on my darkest days, I also would like to let them know that I appreciate them – and what they may have taught me, helped me with or guided me with is appreciated and that little lesson has played a little part in who I am today...
I want a lot in life - but what I want to do from now on is:
I want to be able to make a difference.
I want to say “Thank You” with a difference.
I want to make those who made me smile, smile today or tomorrow or whenever,
I want to surprise them, let them know that even though it may be years and years later= that I'm grateful today!
I want to say thank you, make you smile, and let you know that you’re an angel because you’ve left a footprint on my heart.
:)
So this is part of my Thank You - to you who helped me when I didn't think I needed the help, smiled at me and made my day, randomly shouted "Hello Beautiful" when I got lost one day, showed me a card trick at Covent Garden tube station, guided me, advised me in a "confusing situation" or just for being who you are.... Thank You :)
I think that at some stage in our lives we should all make an effort to say "Thank You" with a difference....

Love and Appreciate
“Love life, love those who love you and be appreciative. Do not take anything for granted and whatever you may be going through – someone else is going through worse”
TJ
After reading this quote, it was as though everything stopped and in this moment I realised that “yes this makes sense, a whole load of sense but I’m not this, why am I not this?”
I realised that there are most times in my life that I never say "Thank You" for the things I should have been thankful for. That there are things that I don’t appreciate.
After thinking about it for a while (I'm a thinker – that’s what I do - believe me I thought about it) I decided that I should not only change my ways but I should open my eyes to things I never saw before.
I then asked myself:
Do I love Life? – Oh YES!
Do I love those who love me? – A hesitant - Hmm Yeah.
Am I appreciative? - Sometimes : )
“Sometimes?” Come on? Sometimes?
3 questions and 3 slightly different answers
My conclusion: I need to change!
So from now on I'm going to be appreciative!
Well I’ll try and be appreciative!
So to those out there somewhere – browsing, surfing or just reading my blog :) just try and .....
“Love life, love those who love you and be appreciative. Do not take anything for granted and whatever you may be going through – someone else is going through worse”
Because hey life’s too short! Right?
