Thank You is my favorite phrase. I shall take this opportunity of Thanksgiving Day to use it liberally and with love…

Thank you to my friends, scattered far and wide, most of whom I have never met. They are always there for me in whatever way they can be.

Lisa, Sharla, David, Jennifer, Ann. You have my thanks and my heart.

My husband and I have been shopping at the same store for 10 years now. It’s not the greatest grocery store but it has always had the best people working there.  Always kind, always helpful.

Since the middle of October my husband’s health has been declining rapidly. He can no longer accompany me to the grocery store. The kindness and concern of the lovely people who work there touches my heart.  Mark the Deli/Bakery Manager – I swear I couldn’t shop without him. Tuul, my favorite cashier. Merrely at the Customer Service Desk, a lovely lady in the bakery department who doesn’t wear a name tag.

Wednesday when I was shopping Mark and the bakery lady made sure I got my husband’s favorite bread. Merrely ran my lottery tickets before I even asked for them, Tuul asked if I had by chance forgotten some of the items that I buy every week – she knows I’m a little stressed.

Everyone of these lovely people sent their regards and good wishes to my husband.  I can’t thank them enough.

Thanks for Ruth the day concierge in my building.  She makes the package delivery people bring the heavy bulky packages to our door. If she hasn’t seen me for a few days and I get a package she will deliver it herself and make sure she sees me. Ruth keeps an eye on us, and I’m thankful for that.

Thanks for Rizwan – the fellow who delivers from Paisano’s. We usually order in on Wednesday and he is always the one who delivers our food. Last week my husband answered the door instead of me and Rizwan asked “Where is my sister? Is she ok?”  Yesterday when I answered the door he said “So good to see you my sister. How is the Sir?”  My husband shouted out a hello from inside the apartment. We wished each other a happy holiday.  How nice is that?

And thanks to all the Uber drivers who load and unload my grocery bags and even bring them inside the building for me. They don’t have to do that. I thankful that they do.

So many people who impact my life on a daily basis, who are kind and thoughtful.

For all of these people I ask the Universe to rain down every blessing on them, just as I am blessed that the Universe have sent these people into my life.
