The new season questions are getting more interesting and mind tasking as it reminds us of what we should be grateful for and how we should show it. They are questions that would even encourage the ungrateful become grateful.
Gratitude is the feeling of being grateful to someone and this feeling is shown by some many people and we also receive this feeling from others when we show love to them. Even though there are those who don't see it nice to be grateful, there are a lot of others who feel grateful for everything always.
I would repeat something I always say "Appreciation is an application for more" When you show you're grateful, the person would want to do more and same goes to you when they show you that they are grateful.
Well, I'm one of the type that have met a lot of people who show me love in so many ways - gifts, words of encouragement, defense and even trips. Before I started to write this, I couldn't remember how I showed gratitude to those who gave me all that but after thinking back, I remembered my favorite way of showing gratitude.
I have so many ways to show that I am grateful like saying "Thank You", Smiling with a grateful heart, feeling surprised and many other ways but my favorite way to show gratitude would be:
I
"Returning the gratitude in any way I can no matter how little" I'm not trying to pay back but I wouldn't hold back if I'm in a position to help others especially those who helped me.
I have different reactions to the level of love someone shows me, like if it's a small gift of reminding me on something or saying sorry when I get hurt, I just say Thank you almost lightly. If it's a huge favor like waking up in the morning, having a great family by my side or not lacking important things I need, I say Thank You with a nice smile on my face and wishing for my grateful to be seen.
I remember receiving a gift from a stranger, it was something I needed so much at that time and I was so surprised to get it from a stranger. My surprise was so obvious that the stranger said "You're welcome" even without hearing me say a "Thank You".
How I receive Gratitude from people? Well, I've been working on myself not to expect that much from people when I help them with something. So if I don't get a gratitude from them, I try not to feel bad but if I do get a gratitude from them, I will only use a smile and a "Don't mention" sentence to reply them with the mind of doing more if I can.
