Has Anyone A Thankful Heart?

Jeanneinstpeters,
I have noticed that in my family and with others and it is hard to understand as I have always been the first to help those in need. I feel also that there are people whom feel
entitled or something not needing to return a simple Thank You. But then guess
all that makes it a extra special gift when we do get a sincere Thank You from others
in this world that do have hearts and are very sincere. So I hope you do receive some
respect and many Thank You's as I know you have a kind heart and I would treasure
to have you as my friend anytime.

I hear and understand you. You didn't have to give anything to them but you were thoughtful to do so and if they accepted it, then they should've thanked you for them, even if they didn't value material things, a thank you is warranted for the time, thought, and effort you put into it. I wondered about friends who don't say thank you when I recently wished a person that I thought was a friend, a happy belated birthday on facebook. I thought she was the epitome of values, honesty, realness, caring, and considerate. No thank you. Nothing. I am left to feel that she is mad at me for not posting a happy birthday on the day of her b-day. I've been trying to avoid fb altogether after getting upset by some of the posts from people from my past. I managed for a few months and want to keep up the avoidance. I still went ahead and thought I should message my friend on fb because I thought so highly of her. I feel like she doesn't value my wish or me. So I will not wish her or speak to her unless she contacts me again. So, to you, I say, your thoughtfulness was warm and sincere and your relatives are very fortunate to be related to you!

Most likely they weren't raised properly that no matter what the gift, kindness forwarded to someone, we as children were taught to say thank you. My own boyfriend doesn't say thank you for alot of things done out of the thoughtfulness of my heart and I always make excuses saying to myself "he wasn't raised right, he's embarrassed. blah blah blah, but it is hard for me not to even hear it when that one word is the very least one can give if they cannot express themselves verbally which would be to go far above thank you.
