September 21 - World Gratitude Day


Posted on September 21, 2018

Today's holiday got started in 1965 at an international conference held in Hawaii.

It seems awfully similar to International Thank You Day (celebrated in January)...

Not to mention World Thank You Day (celebrated in June) and all the various Thanksgiving Days celebrated by various peoples in various nations at various times of the year - pant, pant!

Still, how bad can it be to have loads of opportunities to count one's blessings, say thank you to the people who deserve it, and feel gratitude for the amazing and beautiful and fun things in the world?

What are you grateful for?

I'm grateful for the telescopes in space...



...and warm chocolate chip cookies...


For waterfalls and karst landscapes...



...and babies...


Lindsey Stirling

...and powerful dancing...

Michael Dameski
For Steven Gould's science fiction...



...and Kakuro number puzzles...


Of course, I'm grateful for my families and friends and my health. I'm grateful for a LOT of things...!

January 11 – International Thank You Day

Posted on January 11, 2017


Apparently there is a World Thank You Day half a year away, on June 11, but there can never be too many occasions to say "thank you," right?

The day is supposed to be a day when we thank all the people who contribute in some way, big or small, to our lives. This would certainly include family and friends, but it might also include neighbors, people who wait on us or help us at restaurants and stores, even famous people who entertain or inform us!

So....thank you notes, anyone? Thank you text messages, Facebook messages, e-mails, or calls? Thank you gift baskets or cards? Hugs?

It might also be a fun day to memorize a whole bunch of ways of saying thank you. Can you figure out the language of each "thanks!" below?


Here is a list of thank you in many different languages. Note that a lot of the words are hyperlinks to sound files, so you can hear them as well as see them.

In addition to saying "thanks" or "many thanks," "thank you" or "thank you so much," in English or any other language, you can say such things as "much appreciated," "I'm so grateful," "I'm in your debt," "much obliged," "I'm indebted to you," and so forth.
