Rumi has a way of saying things with such simplicity which resonate across time. It can be uplifting to hear someone thank us for the smallest of gestures and the kindness we speak.
thank you

Beautiful Rumi Thankyou 🙂
You are welcome.
Very nice.
Thank you Bonny.
Gratitude and giving are the most permanent things I own.
LoThe most valuable in my life.
It is the foundation of my happiness, it endures and exists even when hardship arrives at my doorstep.
Very nice Ivon.
Thank you for the wonderful (wonder filled) comments Marty.
I see your teaching, your openess to think the students may be teaching you as a huge gift and your career a journey of gratitude, Ivon.
You are actually influencing young minds.
I hope you know the permanence your actions have.
You are a great role model.
Carry that with you with a smile
Great quote!!
Thank you Amy.
Have faced some fearful challenges of late and things turned out remarkably well and I truly am thankful.
When we come through those dark spots in life, that is when we realize how much we have to be thankful for.
A picture of a polar bear with the words “Be Thankful” hangs on my computer desk as a constant reminder of how blessed I am.
We are blessed in our lives and quite often we overlook the ordinary that makes it so.
Great quote.
Thank you for the wonderful comments Lvsrao. Life is a celebration thus worth living each moment fully.
