"Thank You" mantra

If there’s anything that should never go out of fashion, it’s the practice of saying “Thank You.”

Wouldn’t it be a very pleasant world if everyone… rich or poor… ordinary or outstanding… plain or beautiful… learn to utter these two simple words? Our society will flow with wonderful karmic energy and its people will harvest the fruits that habitual “Thank You’s” will generate.

There is a gazillion of reasons around us that deserve daily thanks to the Universe.  Let me count a few…
