appreciation

it's easy to take things/people for granted. we say thank you in the moment and then we dismiss acts of kindness like yesterday's newspaper.  i don't know which gender does it more.  ask any woman and they'll tell you that most days, they just feel unappreciated.  if you bother to ask any man, he might tell you the same thing.  what i'm saying is this: it's not enough to be be grateful. express that gratitude to him, to her, to whoever matters.

my first thank you goes to you.
