Saying Thanks

Just about all of my prayers start or end with, "thank you, Lord.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for this life."

Every Thanksgiving season, I tend to mentally think about for what I am grateful.  This list is usually the same, including the big stuff-family, life, health, grace, etc.

Usually, the list stays mental though.  I am not sure if I put voice to all of my thoughts.  Today, I thought about a lot of people for who I am thankful, but I didn't tell those people.  I don't know why?  Maybe it's too mushy, too vulnerable.  I'm not sure.  

I want that to change.  I want to start saying thanks.  It seems to mean more that way.
