[Oe List ...] FW: Gratitude -- If you feel it, show it

[Nancy Lanphear]

Dear A.M.,


Please share our thanks with your family for the lovely visit we shared on
Thanksgiving day.  We both enjoyed and appreciated it very much.  Your
children as delightful!

I loved this video of GRATITUDE>  Let me share a similar experience of
confusion.  On a flight a couple of years ago, I was so aware of the great
number of military folks in fatigues that were in the airport and on the
plane.  I wanted to communicate my thanks to them but did not know how to do
so.  Of course, some of the dilemma was that I disagreed with the war.
Finally, one day  in the grocery store I worked up my courage and said to
one young woman," We may have different opinions re: this war, but I want to
thank you for your service."  She teared up and said that no one had ever
thanked her before - she thanked me.  We shared eye contact for several
seconds and walked away.  The youtube video is great!  Thank you for sending
it.

Love,

Nancy
