Thankful For You





Yes, you, dear friend or stranger reading these words.

There are many things to be thankful for, as lovely autumn leaves brighten the trees and walkways, and frost makes everything sparkle.

All of nature is celebrating as they prepare for Christmas. They've been waiting all year.

But today what I'm thankful for is YOU.

I made a picture, and wrote some words, and you have lent me your eyes to look at them for maybe 3 seconds (or more) of your valuable time.

I appreciate that. :-) And I just wanted you to know it.

You have blessed me by reading my words.

May your day also be blessed. :-)

Happy Mother's Day!


This penguin would like to wish you Happy Mother's Day!

This penguin would like to wish you Happy Mother's Day and give you a flower! Because it thinks you're its mother.

Because when it hatched from its egg, it saw you and now it thinks you're its mother.

Sorry about that.


This penguin also thinks this day is doubly special, because it thinks you're pretty amazing, and without your mother, you wouldn't exist.

So, in addition, it also wants to thank your mother for bringing such an amazing You into this world!

Thank You

Thank You

I'd like to thank you for all the things you've done that made someone smile.

It started when you were a tiny baby, warming hearts simply by being the miniature person you were.

But besides merely existing and being cute, there have been times when you saw someone was sad, and you blessed them.

You gave them a hug.
Or a quarter.
Or a piece of your own favorite candy.

That was very noble of you. Thank you.


There was the time when you told that shy kid that the thing they did was cool. You blessed them with your words. Thank you.

Also, when you gave someone a gift that they really, really, really wanted. Thank you for making their eyes sparkle.

Or the the time when you made tea for someone who was ill. Even though they might not have been feeling well enough to smile, they did on the inside.

And what about the time when you sang a silly song, making everyone laugh. Yes. That counts too.

There was also the time when you didn't know what to say, so you just sat beside someone to let them know they weren't alone. Thank you.

But also, that one time when you simply smiled at someone who had a tough day, and they smiled back at you. That's one of the easiest ways to do it.


Thank you for making the world a more beautiful place.
