Let's Say 'Thank You'

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:06:12 +0000

When was the last time you said 'thank you' and sincerely meant it? Our thank yous have become jaded, just like our life. We say 'thanks' without thinking. "Honey, can you iron this shirt for me, thanks!" "Ma'am, here's your parking ticket, thanks!" That's how we say our thank yous.

Of course, it is a polite gesture and it is better than not saying 'thank you' at all. But what if we came up with different ways to express our gratitude so that the person receiving it feels truly appreciated? With these quotes for thank you, you can make a difference. Use thank you card quotes to say thank you in style. And if you want to make it look casual, use thank you quotes. That way, you can ensure that you don't become another face in the crowd.

Spread the Message of Peace on Veteran's Day

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 01:27:00 +0000

November 11 is Veteran's Day. It is the day Americans honor their military veterans. Often, in the throes of work and life, people forget about these brave sentinels who guard geographic boundaries. We fail to acknowledge that our social and economic progress is possible only because we have loyal soldiers guarding our nation on unfriendly terrain.

The only way to repay their kindness is by respecting the fundamental principals of democracy and freedom. These liberty quotes are an eye-opener. In times of strife, find strength in these peace sayings. Hate is the poison that afflicts every society; so let's weed out the roots of hatred with these hate quotes. Let's pledge to fight the evils of war and make this Veteran's Day a truly memorable one.

November 7th Is Hug-a-Bear Day!

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:24:05 +0000

I wonder what they were thinking! What is Hug-a-Bear Day? I mean, do they really expect us to go out in the wilderness, find a grizzly friend, hug him and say, "Happy Hug-a-Bear Day!" And what did they expect the bear to do in return? Grunt his happiness? What if it turns out to be Squash-a-Human Day for Bears?

The only "huggable" bear that I can think of is Winnie the Pooh. To me, he is the cuddliest bear. He also has a philosophical outlook to life. Winnie the Pooh was my childhood buddy and a faithful friend. Here are some Winnie the Pooh quotes.

I hope you find a teddy bear to hug. Winnie the Pooh suits me just fine.
