February Challenge: Day 10

Yay!  Our blogging days have reached the double digits!  Thanks to everyone who is reading this right now and who has read our blog!  Okay, on another note, I have an experience of how I uplifted someone today (sort of).  Flashback to the week before Christmas; I was shopping for Christmas presents for my siblings with help from my mom (whose blog I'm following and you should go check it out :) ).  I was trying to decide on what I should get for my older sister for Christmas.  It was then that I remembered her mentioning that she had never had a professional massage.  Ever.  So, I went to my uncle's chiropractic office and bought her a certificate for an hour long massage whenever she scheduled.  I gave it to her for Christmas, and she just used it today.  She told me how much she enjoyed it, and that she was very grateful to me for getting her that gift.  I'm grateful to her for showing her gratitude towards me.  Many times people receive something, whether it be a gift or a kind gesture from another, but they do not express their gratitude.  One way of returning the favor is to say thank you.  It takes a single breath to say thanks, and I think that it would certainly not be a breath wasted.  So, the moral of my story is, don't be afraid or embarrassed to say thanks!  If you appreciate something or someone, make in known unto them!  Being grateful is a big piece of the puzzle we must solve, the puzzle which we call "Happiness".  ~Sky
