What are you thankful for, and how do you show it?

I imagine that many of us are thankful for our friends and family, but in today's day and age we have less of an opportunity to show our appreciation. 

At the end of the day, when putting our son to bed, I always thank him for a wonderful day, and take a moment to reflect on something that made the day special.  When we've had a tough day, it also helps me to put everything behind us.

What are some of the things you do?  Is there anything you would like to do but don't?

i'm thankful for my friends. i show it by e-mailing them regularly or calling them to check in. i usually end most calls with i love you because you never know when you'll be able to say it again.

I'm thankful that you asked me to be your connection here on Gather, and I'm thankful that you made a comment on my article, "Press opportunity: Have you cashed out your retirement plan to deal with economic constraints?" ; )

P.S. I used to DJ at an oldies radio station in Palmyra, PA. It's a small world!

Over the years, it's become habit to thank people almost excessively. Not to the point of it being fake or anything, but if I appreciate something, I like to tell them right then and there because I know what it feels like to be praised and I want to pass that on to others that might not be thanked enough.

Thanks for all the great comments so far!

I have had many prayers answered this week.
I help out people whenever I can, usually by sending a nice card, or even cash once in awhile

I am so thankful for my husband. We had a long distance relationship for five years (he lived in Vancouver and I lived in NJ). Every day I get to spend with him in person feels like a gift!

I tell my husband/family thank you every day. They have constantly stood by me through the years & was the only ones there to help me when I/we needed it. I couldn't live without them!

Great question!

My family and my fiancee. I show them my gratitude by, not only saying thank you, but by doing what I can to show them how I feel.

Of course I'm thankful for my family and friends but I'm also thankful for the experiences I've had that shaped me.
