Thanks to WonderlandAlli I got tagged with the "Friday Five" for this week.
So here goes:
1) What are you thankful for today? Being able to breath fully again, after having had some difficulty with that over the last week.
2) What do you appreciate about the Earth? Trees, grass, water, waterfalls and lovely gemstones (hey, had to have "gem" in there someplace, eh!) :)
3) Who is the last person you said "thank you" to? That would have been the Condo building Super as he cleaned the hallway carpet - for stopping by and occasionally watering my umbrella tree, Eli, while I was in Florida. Eli has been a constant companion now for over 23 years, and she now stands (again, after being severely damaged 12 years ago) almost seven feet high, with huge broad leaves. She lives in my bedroom because it's the brightest room in the Condo.
4) When was the last time someone thanked you? I'm probably not remembering some of the more perfunctory "thank you's" I've had over the last few days, but on Sunday I had several people do so from greater depths than most do these days. It felt good to be so appreciated.
5) What is your favorite way to say thank you? My favourite way is probably to give someone a hug, if I can do so in person. Otherwise, when I do say it, I like to look the person straight in the eyes and say it with a nice, warm smile.
Well, the instructions were to tag five others to do this, but since Friday has just about run out, and it appears many of my friends have already been tagged, I'm going to do everyone a big favour and not tag anyone else today. Maybe next Friday........LOL!!!

Loving your hugging, Ariela….. and Thank You for visiting my blog today!
Just occured to me that when I first landed in Charlotte, NC last week, the thing that I noticed as I ordered my Cinnamon Roll and coffee, was the politeness of the people - especially those native to the area. I have to say that what I have noticed around the greater Toronto area (and this may be indicative of a large part of Canada) is that we don't often say “Thank you” in a way that it actually get's noticed. A newcomer and stranger to the English language might actually think it is a singular word “Thankew”, it is said so fast and usually barely at an audible level. So I found that listening to some of the people as they moved through the airport, I could usually tell if they were local or travelling, without even looking at them. 'Course, that lovely southern “twang” was also probably a dead give-away. LOL ~~^v^~~
LOL! That's that Southern Hospitality! +0
And I know what you mean! I teach my kids to say it slowly and meaningfully and consciously “Thank You”…never, never “Thanks”
My own “Thank You” is pretty sing-song LOL “Thaaaank Youuuuu” :-D
That either comes from my native lilt of Trinidad, or it could come from talking to children for so many years LMAO :-D
And Oh how I love enunciation! LOL! Hahhahaa~~~<3
