Thanksgiving Day is one of the most popular holidays in the USA. In spite of the fact that it has already been celebrated we would like to share our Thanksgining Letters, as it is never late to say "Thank you!"
There is one day a year when all Americans stay home with their families and eat a big dinner. This is Thanksgiving Day. On this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pumpkin pie. Before the meal begins, families or friends usually pause to give thanks for their blessings, including the joy of being united for the occasion. Every year on Thanksgiving Day Americans get together around the table and hold their hands and said ‘’thanks’’, because in our country we do not celebrate this holiday, I can not say to people ‘’thank you’’.So, I decided to write this letter. Thanksgiving is a time for giving gifts to your family and friends. The day is a time to show your gratitude and respect to your elders, friends, your siblings and also your colleagues. Personally I am grateful for many things. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to live in a country where I am free to feel, think, and say what I want. I’m grateful to have a house, food, and all the commodities. I’m very grateful that I have people in my life that I am able to talk to. What I am grateful for most all is that I was blessed with a family that care about me, support me in all that I do, and take care of me when I need them the most.Also, I’m grateful for my friends who help, support, and guide me down the right path. If you have someone who can do everything for you and you can do the same – you are lucky,so do not forget to say ‘’thanks’’ to this person.
Thanksgiving is the time to say thanks to people that are close to your soul and heart. It is the time to say ,, thank you” and ,,sorry” to those that gave you the possibility to admire the beauty of nature, to smell and feel the magnificent odor of flowers, to see the powerful shine of stars, sun and moon. Parents deserve all the best things in the world. Dear mother and father, I would like you to know that I appreciate the help and support that you gave me. You are those persons that influenced on me to feel what is sincerity, love, respect, happiness, kindness .We have passed through so many beautiful moments. Everything that makes me live is,, YOU” . I am grateful to you for all the strong feelings you offered me, I am thankful for that pure love offered me day by day. As you know I can’t imagine my life without you dears .You were the first that let me know how to share and care for others, you were the first that made me understand that life is full of happiness and even disappointment. The way you encourage me, makes me recognize that life without you have no sense. All moments from my childhood, are special memories that I will always treasure. It seems that every minute that we stay together must be remembered and appreciated from deep inside of heart. I am truly thankful for your infinite love, patience and trust. I would further say that I want to see you happy everyday you live and breath, in this way I will feel the happiness as well.
Our parents are treasures indeed. They must have educated you very well. Not every child is so thankful to them, so you are one of the lucky ones. Very good letter, by the way.
Thanksgiving letter!!! Anna. I’ve never said “thank you” to my parents just because they are my parents. I am a shy person and I can not express my feelings directly. Yes, I love them very much, but it is hard to say “I love you Mom, I love you dad ”. Now I think it is a good possibility to write to them. Thank you Mom that you gave birth to me, that you are always near to support me, and that you are my best friend. You are the person who do not let me give up. Thank you Dad that you help me to understand what is good and what is bad, thank you for advice and for teaching me how to live. Thank you that you created our small, but nice family, where I can always find a warm atmosphere and peace. You are an example for me, and I wish to have a husband like you. Thank you my little brother, that you helped me not to be a selfish child, and when I always had something, I was conscious that I have to share it with you, and I preferred to give the bigger part to you. When we are home, our parents are happy. Thank you my Grandma that you have a good soul and you are always waiting for us with open arms. Thank you that you always find time to prepare something tasty when we come to you. Thank you my Grandpa!!! I hope you may see my letter from there, from heavens. Thank you that you taught us to work hard, to be honest, to love and to value our life. Finally, I want to say thank you God that I was born in such a family, where I had the opportunity to grow a happy child, and now to be a MSU student and be able to write this letter in English. And that is not the end, I recognize that I am yet dependent on my parents. They are my support, and they helped me to become, first of all, a good person with the right to be named a human being. Thank you for your attention!!!

Thanksgiving letter - Olesea Dear people whom I thank for who I am today,
We are all born like some rough little stones that should be polished through life. In our process of becoming nearer to perfection, we meet people that change us and make us the ones we are today, bright diamonds, sapphires or rubies. I am thankful to a lot of people, people who are part of my family or friends, people that belong to the past and people that don’t even know me. First of all, I want to thank my parents. I wouldn’t be writing right now, if they wouldn’t have loved each other 20 years ago, or would have decided to have just a child. My father had the most influence that someone could ever have in life. Due to him, I have fallen in love with reading. Due to him, I have known what is morality, ethics, principles of life, I’ve learned Russian, I’ve studied geography and I will always know what Gulf Stream is and where Sri Lanka is situated, history, physics… He made me an intelligent person, and I am thankful to you so much, Dad, for your genes, I love being a funny person! Dear Mom, I know we have been arguing most of the time, because we are so different, we have such distinct ways of seeing life, but in spite of this, you gave me some useful genes too. You gave me your nose, your hysteria and gift of cooking, you made me a good housewife, teaching me to keep my room clean and to not leave dirty dishes in the sink. Dear Sister, thank you for helping me so many times when I need it. Even though, we are not that type of sisters that confide all the secrets, you have influenced me a lot. Because of you, I started to learn English, and learned how to fight with a girl. Thank you for giving me your cool clothes and make up products. Thank you for yelling at me every time I do something stupid. Dear Grandpa, thank you for representing a model of how a man should be, I am proud to have you as a family, and Grannie – sorry for that I don’t like sewing anymore, but I am a big girl already, and I have other hobbies and interests. My dear friends, you know how thankful I am ho have you in my life, I would be no one without you. Dear my all ex-boyfriends, thank your for being my ex, not my present ones, you helped me to know better people and to choose among them. Dear Eminem, maybe it is stupid to thank you, but due to your songs I have begun to love English, listening to your songs and trying to translate them. Dear good writers, thank you for writing such books, because every of them polished my personality and made me change the way of seeing things. Dear Cailin Kelly, thank you for being in my life, you represent a model of strength and femininity, you are a great woman, and I am happy to have had you as a friend. Dear TV shows that make me always laugh or cry, House, Scrubs, How I met your mother and others, and also good old movies that are always a pleasure to watch, thank you. Dear Beethoven, Elvis Presley, James Blunt, Linkin Park, and all that make such a great music, thank you for healing my headaches and for giving us your talents. Dear God, thank you for the fact that you exist, thank you for understanding that I cannot believe in churches, priests, and symbols of Christianity. I believe in you, and this counts the most. Thank you for giving me all that I have mentioned above.
“There is always, always something to be grateful for” Unknown author
Each new day is a gift, a blessing, I can say. First of all we should be grateful for a new chance and possibility to do something better than yesterday.
I, for example, am thankful for the food I eat every day, for a dress that fits well on me, for a compliment I receive ... This list is endless.
I am a person that enjoys saying “thank you” every day. I say “thank you” even to the person that says he loves me, because I am really happy to feel this feeling of being really important and precious.
Through this letter I’d like to thank first of all my parents, for their care, infinite love, gentleness, warmth, confidence and even money. I adore my father because as far as I remember he always tried to do everything he could, in order to make me a happy child. I know that I’ll remain for him always his little and delicate girl. I love my mother because of our continuously little misunderstandings, for her way to make me feel home, and of course for her incomparable carefulness. My sister is my confident, teacher, friend and adviser. I also thank her because she gave birth to a baby that I love more than everything.
I am grateful to God because He found me the perfect place in the universe.
I thank snow, it makes me feel pure and free. I adore rain, it washes my eyes and my pains.
I think life will not be enough to be grateful for all my existence.
I have decided to write you this letter to tell you what you mean for me and how much I love you. I thank the fortune that I have such a wonderful friend, who is always beside me.
You are like a sister, who always knows how to talk and what to say. You know how to find the suitable words wherever I need it. You know how to make me happy when I’m sad. You are like the Sun. When I meet you, my life seems to become brighter and my soul is full of warmth and quietness. Each moment spent with you is unique and special. When we are together, the time seems to fly. You can bring life to everything you touch. You are my best friend forever. We are friends since the childhood and I’m sure that we’ll be friends all life forward. I remember very well the moments when we used to walk together, make weddings to our dolls and talk all night. Recently, when I have had a trouble in the family, you have supported me as well as you could. You have encouraged me and you have helped me to overpass this difficult period of my life.
Thank you for all the things you did for me. Thank you for your love, supporting and sweet words! You are my angel and my dearest friend. I wish you all happiness, goodness to belong to you! Be happy, my dear friend!
They told us “Thank You” is a magic expression. I would agree with this, if nowadays so many people haven’t been taking this very polite set of words for granted. You have to agree that at present, many of us learnt to fake courtesy, as well as many of us happen to be tickled by flattery thus skipping the fact that we deceive ourselves and are tricked by others.
The world has never been perfect so, it’s a loss of time to plain that so many things in the society go wrong.
They also say that if we want to change the world we have to start with ourselves. Apart from the social universe we all create and struggle within, there is a special universe everyone creates for himself, so I think it’s worth designing the latter beautifully. You will be the first to benefit from it. You can choose to be sincere and polite with those people who you think deserve being treated like this. You don’t have to be afraid to state your complaints as well. Respect cannot be demanded, it’s gained. Even if, as a result many will dislike you, there will also be few who will praise your courage, and what counts more than making peace with yourself?
Now let me be sincere and give some thanks: o I want to thank all the special people I have met along my life, all those who have taught me useful and beautiful things, who have shared their experience with me. o I want to thank those who have patience with me; those who don’t get angry with me when I happen to lash out; those who forgive my mistakes; those who gift without expecting to be given things back; those who trust me; those who smile and have fun with me; those who miss me; those who loved and love me; those who listen to me; those who are sincere with me; those who don’t take advantage of me and so on.. o I also want to thank all the responsible people of this planet, perhaps I want to thank mainly responsible parents who respect and love their children. Those parents who encourage their children to be open and even critical. The world hasn’t stopped developing so, we will always learn and discover new things, may it be from older people or from younger ones. I want to thank parents who don’t use their children as tools for the fulfillment of their lost dreams and don’t pour their frustrations on them just because they had no courage to face different types of inequity in the past. o I want to thank teachers and professors who dedicate to their profession and inspire students. The educational system is outdated and it so much depends on the professor whether we come to lessons with pleasure or not. I want to thank those who don’t expose us to fatal doses of boring theory; those who remember the basic psychological facts according to which information which is not liked is stored uselessly in the short-term memory and quickly forgotten afterwards. I want to thank those professors who don’t destroy our curiosity and desire to learn. o I also want to thank any kind of public servants, shop assistants and other personnel engaged in providing services for whom to be polite and professional is the principle no. 1. o I want to thank artists, musicians, actors, inventors, book writers for sharing their talent and knowledge with us, therefore making our lives more colorful. o I want to thank everyone who encourages critical thinking and don’t keep silent about truths which could free us and make us wiser. (for example different types of religion, traditions, political doctrines and so on) o I want to thank people who do good things from time to time, as small as they are, and I want to say that I’m proud of them. Let us remember situations in which good was done to us, I bet we were so thankful and that attitude could melt our hearts.
I’m sure I missed to thank other people, but even if I don’t put these thanks down right here and right now, I can do it personally anytime I feel like doing that.
"I prefer to look people straight in the eyes when I'm speaking to them." This was the first impression when I read the first two paragraphs.WELL DONE! P.S. You mentioned critical thinking.It seems you are really concerned about it.
I want to thank firstly the nature that created me ..... it’s my mother who has taken care of me and has taught me to be a unique person and I swear that I will take care of you the rest of my life.... I want to thank the person whom I admire .... thank you for your existence, I get from you many positive things, you teach me to change my view about whole world, ... you're a genius, and I have a wish that someday I will join you at a cup of coffee and I will tell you how my life has changed in this period of time ....and I want to speak with you about your childhood how you spent your childhood, and maybe if you accept I want to collaborate with you, for me this is very important, to have a opportunity to work with you. This is my sense of life because you are my god, my father, my brother, my friend and I want to thank you for your wonderful work.You have wonderful thoughts I assume your IQ is 400 you are really a genius, I think so. When I have a son I should put your name to honor the best man in the world.
Thank you all for your appearence in my life because without you my life hasn't been so happy.
"Thanksgiving, after all, is a word of action." ~W.J. Cameron Different people, different fates...
We all are too different and that is why our life gives us different challenges. Someone manages to cope with all difficulties and understand some certain meanings, but unfortunately someone just becomes angry and tries to blame everyone instead of looking for an answer in his own mind. People become more gentle when they start to be conscious that to give thanks it is a necessary thing. We open our yes in the morning and don't want to recognize that the Sun is still there, is shining, we don't want to bless our eyes, mouth and mind for starting a new good day. We just put our life into a transparent and monotonous existence. All these things became closer to us than to feel the breeze of the happiness, freedom and love. Now, life is seen as a duty or an obligation, but not as an opportunity or a treasure. It is too unfair.
Thinking about all these aspects, I discovered that I can be included in this category of people too. It seems to me very sad because, I am not so old but already blinded by this webwork of indifference. While I am trying to wake up and do something that will come from the depth of my heart, my mind is getting closed with my memories. Only they can show me all the truth about me. First of all, I want to apologize to everyone whom I have ever hurted and thank in advance for the understanding and forgiveness, because I know that the strongest people are those, who can forgive. I want to thank the dearest people-my parents, for their big love and beautiful desire to live, that gave birth to me. They know everything about me and are interested only in knowing me healthy and happy. My sister is my soul- she knows how to calm me down and to show me the way I must follow. Thank for her patience and kindness.
God, Thank You for everything: for this beautiful and unique world with all its elements, for my friends that are like air for me, for my teachers that I have ever had-they invested too much in growing up my personality, for the love you give me every second, for the patience you send me through the heart, for the life in peace you maintain in my soul, country and world permanently. Don't be lazy, it kills and buries you. Start smiling more often, open your heart to the beauty and goodness, don't be shy to express whatever you feel. Be thankful, it helps to survive with pleasure instead of the sickness. Thanks to everyone!!! ( Potînga Cristina, group 261 L)
We just put our life into a transparent and monotonous existence. True. I also feel this way, too often lately.But thank you for reminding once again that we must treasure our lives.
“ Thank You God for gave me Life, and thank you Mother for gave me Birth “
I thank God for giving me the most precious- Life. I thank my parents who receive this present and then gave it to me. I thank the earth which keeps me in this world alive.
I thank the Sun which shines on me and gives me straight, and lightens the road I should follow. I thank the Rain that washes my mind, clears up my thoughts and banishes my fears.
I thank the Day and thank the Night, because if not darkness I couldn’t realize the beauty of the light. If the night wouldn’t exist, how could I rest myself and think of nothing, predict the future and dream of heaven? If not dreams, what else could I name as “fairy”?
So, I thank light and I thank dark, like I thank Friends and Enemies. Who else will show me that I’m unique and not the same, if not enemies who don’t love me because they don’t really know me?
I have a shoulder to cry on, and I have arms to hold me when I’m bad. I have tears to blame the pain and I have a smile to cheer the Joy.
For all the beauty, sometimes the bad, I thank it all, because it makes me feel that I live. Life is a streak across Heaven and hell. Because of this, the existence is balanced. It wouldn’t be Life, if it wouldn’t exist Death. It can’t be a Beginning of it isn’t an End.
Everything is divided into black and white, but we are the painters who mix up the colours and make the life colourful.
The words Thank You ! How often do we hear these words? How often do we use them? What do they mean? To thank means to realize that everything in our life is a gift, that was received by us to make us be Thankful !
Being thankful is something holy. First of all I want to thank my parents. They are the meaning of all my life. I always admire them, I love and I can’t imagine my life without them. I am thankful for all the good things they do for me. I am grateful also to my brother, he is the only and the best brother in the world. I am thankful for the fact that he has always supported me in the difficult situations of my life. He is the one who always supports me with a good word. Thank you God that I am a part of such a good family. Please always take care of my family and have them in your guard, because they are my eyes, and as people can’t have a full life without seeing, I can’t live without my family.
Also I am grateful to my friends, my best friends. Friendship is one mind in two bodies. As Anon said "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” They are the ones who were able to support me with a suitable word in different situations. Best friends are formed by time. Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone. If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. I am always thankful to those that are close to me.
I am thankful to my boyfriend. I love him and I like the most that he knows me very well, he knows all my frawbacks. He is the only one for me. We should always be grateful for the life we have. Thanks for that we are healthy and able to live on this earth and enjoy it.
Thanksgiving Letter "A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues" Marcus Tullius Cicero Life can't always stay the same, otherwise it's not life, it changes every single day. With its ups and downs, rights and wrongs life is still beautiful and worth of living but unfortunately not everyone realises this and many nowadays are constantly unthankful. The sun, the moon, the wind, the rain, your breath, your loved ones these are just some of those many things that you should be thankful for. Life is priceless and it is very short this is why we should try to be always thankful for what we have and fight for more, seeing not the empty half of the glass but the full one. I want to thank God for creating everything in such a wonderful way, for that I can see, hear, feel, talk, walk, breathe and for the fact that He never forgets to wake me up it the morning even if I often forget to thank Him for this. I thank my parents who raised me and took care of me the best way they could, made me feel loved and cared for, and being always my shelter. I am thankful for the very few true friends I have and hope that we will remain friends for ever. I thank the people that caused me pain and made me cry, no I'm not insane, it's just I know that they are meant to make me stronger. I am thankful for the summer mornings when the warmth of the sun tickles my eyes and wakes me up, for the rainbow I rarely see but when I do it makes me very happy. I am thankful for the kitten I have at home and love so much, for every breath of fresh air, for every butterfly that flies from flower to flower. I thank God for every honest and good man on the planet. I recognise that I am not always thankful, because it’s impossible, nothing is perfect, but still I do my best, because I hate complaining. Some problems that seem terrible to us would be a piece of cake for others. The question is : why a blind, or a deaf , or a dumb person is thankful and appreciates every second of his life, and why you and I, who seem to have it all can't be thankful? Nicoleta.
I’m writing for you in order to express my gratitude for everything you have done for me. I would like you to know that I am very proud of you and I really appreciate your help and support you have been giving to me since I was a child. You have taught me many things, you’ve taught me how to behave and how to make friends. With your teaching you’ve made my life more colorful and joyful. I remember how you spent sleepless nights when I was sick, how you encouraged me in every situation, how you explained to me what is good and what is not. I remember everything and I’m grateful to you for this. Your love, your hugs, your presence at every important for me event that I have participated in and the way you encouraged me to learn things, all your pieces of advice are the special memories which I’ll always retain in my heart. You made me understood what is life and what I’m living for. You were the first to let me know how to share and care for others and I continue to do this with my close ones. I can say with certainty that you have given me the sweetest moments. Of course, I have often misunderstood some of your advice when I was younger but now I’m aware that everything you’ve done was only for my benefits. I thank you again for everything. I’m missing you a lot and I hope you’ll come to enjoy winter holidays with all our dear people. Love you much, your daughter Anastasia!
“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.” ― John Steinbeck, East of Eden. Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm writing this thanksgiving letter because I want you to know that I appreciate the help and support you have showered on me since I was a child. At the beginning of my life you always take care about me and also taught me to care. You taught me so many things about the world, family, love, friends, etc. You have always inspired me to do my best and have supported me in every decision I have made. I'm sorry that I have been so far away from home (I miss you every day!). While I honestly do not think I will ever comprehend the true depth of your sacrifice, I can promise that I will continuously try. I truly appreciate all things that you done for me and I swear that I help and will help you in need. Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thanks for pushing me, thank you for believing in me, thanks for being there for me, thanks for being such great parents. With love, Tolic.
ReplyDeleteCorina’s Thanksgiving Letter
There is one day a year when all Americans stay home with their families and eat a big dinner. This is Thanksgiving Day.
On this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pumpkin pie. Before the meal begins, families or friends usually pause to give thanks for their blessings, including the joy of being united for the occasion.
Every year on Thanksgiving Day Americans get together around the table and hold their hands and said ‘’thanks’’, because in our country we do not celebrate this holiday, I can not say to people ‘’thank you’’.So, I decided to write this letter.
Thanksgiving is a time for giving gifts to your family and friends. The day is a time to show your gratitude and respect to your elders, friends, your siblings and also your colleagues. Personally I am grateful for many things. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to live in a country where I am free to feel, think, and say what I want. I’m grateful to have a house, food, and all the commodities. I’m very grateful that I have people in my life that I am able to talk to. What I am grateful for most all is that I was blessed with a family that care about me, support me in all that I do, and take care of me when I need them the most.Also, I’m grateful for my friends who help, support, and guide me down the right path. If you have someone who can do everything for you and you can do the same – you are lucky,so do not forget to say ‘’thanks’’ to this person.
I can even feel your gratitude through your words.
DeleteWell done!
Thanksgiving letter, Alisa
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is the time to say thanks to people that are close to your soul and heart. It is the time to say ,, thank you” and ,,sorry” to those that gave you the possibility to admire the beauty of nature, to smell and feel the magnificent odor of flowers, to see the powerful shine of stars, sun and moon. Parents deserve all the best things in the world.
Dear mother and father, I would like you to know that I appreciate the help and support that you gave me. You are those persons that influenced on me to feel what is sincerity, love, respect, happiness, kindness .We have passed through so many beautiful moments. Everything that makes me live is,, YOU” .
I am grateful to you for all the strong feelings you offered me, I am thankful for that pure love offered me day by day. As you know I can’t imagine my life without you dears .You were the first that let me know how to share and care for others, you were the first that made me understand that life is full of happiness and even disappointment. The way you encourage me, makes me recognize that life without you have no sense. All moments from my childhood, are special memories that I will always treasure. It seems that every minute that we stay together must be remembered and appreciated from deep inside of heart. I am truly thankful for your infinite love, patience and trust.
I would further say that I want to see you happy everyday you live and breath, in this way I will feel the happiness as well.
Our parents are treasures indeed.
DeleteThey must have educated you very well. Not every child is so thankful to them, so you are one of the lucky ones.
Very good letter, by the way.
Thanksgiving letter!!! Anna.
ReplyDeleteI’ve never said “thank you” to my parents just because they are my parents. I am a shy person and I can not express my feelings directly. Yes, I love them very much, but it is hard to say “I love you Mom, I love you dad ”. Now I think it is a good possibility to write to them.
Thank you Mom that you gave birth to me, that you are always near to support me, and that you are my best friend. You are the person who do not let me give up. Thank you Dad that you help me to understand what is good and what is bad, thank you for advice and for teaching me how to live. Thank you that you created our small, but nice family, where I can always find a warm atmosphere and peace. You are an example for me, and I wish to have a husband like you.
Thank you my little brother, that you helped me not to be a selfish child, and when I always had something, I was conscious that I have to share it with you, and I preferred to give the bigger part to you. When we are home, our parents are happy.
Thank you my Grandma that you have a good soul and you are always waiting for us with open arms. Thank you that you always find time to prepare something tasty when we come to you. Thank you my Grandpa!!! I hope you may see my letter from there, from heavens. Thank you that you taught us to work hard, to be honest, to love and to value our life.
Finally, I want to say thank you God that I was born in such a family, where I had the opportunity to grow a happy child, and now to be a MSU student and be able to write this letter in English. And that is not the end, I recognize that I am yet dependent on my parents. They are my support, and they helped me to become, first of all, a good person with the right to be named a human being.
Thank you for your attention!!!
Thanksgiving Letter….
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is the holiday and the time when you can thank all your relatives ,parents and all dear people ,to thank God and just to express your gratitude towards everything that surrounds you.
First of all, like many others I think, I would like to thank my family .I love them so much ,that sometimes when I think that I can lose them ,I won’t be able to live without them ,because they really are everything for me. I want my Mom to know, that she is the most sacred person in my life. She is the first person who is in my mind every morning and when I fall asleep. I would like my parents to know that I appreciate all their support, love, warmth and affection that they give to me during all the years.

Thanksgiving letter - Olesea
ReplyDeleteDear people whom I thank for who I am today,
We are all born like some rough little stones that should be polished through life. In our process of becoming nearer to perfection, we meet people that change us and make us the ones we are today, bright diamonds, sapphires or rubies.
I am thankful to a lot of people, people who are part of my family or friends, people that belong to the past and people that don’t even know me.
First of all, I want to thank my parents. I wouldn’t be writing right now, if they wouldn’t have loved each other 20 years ago, or would have decided to have just a child. My father had the most influence that someone could ever have in life. Due to him, I have fallen in love with reading. Due to him, I have known what is morality, ethics, principles of life, I’ve learned Russian, I’ve studied geography and I will always know what Gulf Stream is and where Sri Lanka is situated, history, physics… He made me an intelligent person, and I am thankful to you so much, Dad, for your genes, I love being a funny person!
Dear Mom, I know we have been arguing most of the time, because we are so different, we have such distinct ways of seeing life, but in spite of this, you gave me some useful genes too. You gave me your nose, your hysteria and gift of cooking, you made me a good housewife, teaching me to keep my room clean and to not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
Dear Sister, thank you for helping me so many times when I need it. Even though, we are not that type of sisters that confide all the secrets, you have influenced me a lot. Because of you, I started to learn English, and learned how to fight with a girl. Thank you for giving me your cool clothes and make up products. Thank you for yelling at me every time I do something stupid.
Dear Grandpa, thank you for representing a model of how a man should be, I am proud to have you as a family, and Grannie – sorry for that I don’t like sewing anymore, but I am a big girl already, and I have other hobbies and interests.
My dear friends, you know how thankful I am ho have you in my life, I would be no one without you.
Dear my all ex-boyfriends, thank your for being my ex, not my present ones, you helped me to know better people and to choose among them.
Dear Eminem, maybe it is stupid to thank you, but due to your songs I have begun to love English, listening to your songs and trying to translate them.
Dear good writers, thank you for writing such books, because every of them polished my personality and made me change the way of seeing things.
Dear Cailin Kelly, thank you for being in my life, you represent a model of strength and femininity, you are a great woman, and I am happy to have had you as a friend.
Dear TV shows that make me always laugh or cry, House, Scrubs, How I met your mother and others, and also good old movies that are always a pleasure to watch, thank you.
Dear Beethoven, Elvis Presley, James Blunt, Linkin Park, and all that make such a great music, thank you for healing my headaches and for giving us your talents.
Dear God, thank you for the fact that you exist, thank you for understanding that I cannot believe in churches, priests, and symbols of Christianity. I believe in you, and this counts the most. Thank you for giving me all that I have mentioned above.
Sincerity sprinkle in your every word. Such a thorough description of your family members and things that influenced you. I like it :)

ReplyDelete“There is always, always something to be grateful for” Unknown author
Each new day is a gift, a blessing, I can say. First of all we should be grateful for a new chance and possibility to do something better than yesterday.
I, for example, am thankful for the food I eat every day, for a dress that fits well on me, for a compliment I receive ... This list is endless.
I am a person that enjoys saying “thank you” every day. I say “thank you” even to the person that says he loves me, because I am really happy to feel this feeling of being really important and precious.
Through this letter I’d like to thank first of all my parents, for their care, infinite love, gentleness, warmth, confidence and even money. I adore my father because as far as I remember he always tried to do everything he could, in order to make me a happy child. I know that I’ll remain for him always his little and delicate girl. I love my mother because of our continuously little misunderstandings, for her way to make me feel home, and of course for her incomparable carefulness. My sister is my confident, teacher, friend and adviser. I also thank her because she gave birth to a baby that I love more than everything.
I am grateful to God because He found me the perfect place in the universe.
I thank snow, it makes me feel pure and free. I adore rain, it washes my eyes and my pains.
I think life will not be enough to be grateful for all my existence.
Thanksgiving Letter, Tamara
ReplyDeleteDear Oxana,
I have decided to write you this letter to tell you what you mean for me and how much I love you. I thank the fortune that I have such a wonderful friend, who is always beside me.
You are like a sister, who always knows how to talk and what to say. You know how to find the suitable words wherever I need it. You know how to make me happy when I’m sad. You are like the Sun. When I meet you, my life seems to become brighter and my soul is full of warmth and quietness. Each moment spent with you is unique and special. When we are together, the time seems to fly. You can bring life to everything you touch. You are my best friend forever. We are friends since the childhood and I’m sure that we’ll be friends all life forward. I remember very well the moments when we used to walk together, make weddings to our dolls and talk all night. Recently, when I have had a trouble in the family, you have supported me as well as you could. You have encouraged me and you have helped me to overpass this difficult period of my life.
Thank you for all the things you did for me. Thank you for your love, supporting and sweet words! You are my angel and my dearest friend. I wish you all happiness, goodness to belong to you! Be happy, my dear friend!
I love you!
With love,
Tamara
Victoria's Thanksgiving Letter!
ReplyDeleteThey told us “Thank You” is a magic expression. I would agree with this, if nowadays so many people haven’t been taking this very polite set of words for granted. You have to agree that at present, many of us learnt to fake courtesy, as well as many of us happen to be tickled by flattery thus skipping the fact that we deceive ourselves and are tricked by others.
The world has never been perfect so, it’s a loss of time to plain that so many things in the society go wrong.
They also say that if we want to change the world we have to start with ourselves. Apart from the social universe we all create and struggle within, there is a special universe everyone creates for himself, so I think it’s worth designing the latter beautifully. You will be the first to benefit from it. You can choose to be sincere and polite with those people who you think deserve being treated like this. You don’t have to be afraid to state your complaints as well. Respect cannot be demanded, it’s gained. Even if, as a result many will dislike you, there will also be few who will praise your courage, and what counts more than making peace with yourself?
Now let me be sincere and give some thanks:
o I want to thank all the special people I have met along my life, all those who have taught me useful and beautiful things, who have shared their experience with me.
o I want to thank those who have patience with me; those who don’t get angry with me when I happen to lash out; those who forgive my mistakes; those who gift without expecting to be given things back; those who trust me; those who smile and have fun with me; those who miss me; those who loved and love me; those who listen to me; those who are sincere with me; those who don’t take advantage of me and so on..
o I also want to thank all the responsible people of this planet, perhaps I want to thank mainly responsible parents who respect and love their children. Those parents who encourage their children to be open and even critical. The world hasn’t stopped developing so, we will always learn and discover new things, may it be from older people or from younger ones. I want to thank parents who don’t use their children as tools for the fulfillment of their lost dreams and don’t pour their frustrations on them just because they had no courage to face different types of inequity in the past.
o I want to thank teachers and professors who dedicate to their profession and inspire students. The educational system is outdated and it so much depends on the professor whether we come to lessons with pleasure or not. I want to thank those who don’t expose us to fatal doses of boring theory; those who remember the basic psychological facts according to which information which is not liked is stored uselessly in the short-term memory and quickly forgotten afterwards. I want to thank those professors who don’t destroy our curiosity and desire to learn.
o I also want to thank any kind of public servants, shop assistants and other personnel engaged in providing services for whom to be polite and professional is the principle no. 1.
o I want to thank artists, musicians, actors, inventors, book writers for sharing their talent and knowledge with us, therefore making our lives more colorful.
o I want to thank everyone who encourages critical thinking and don’t keep silent about truths which could free us and make us wiser. (for example different types of religion, traditions, political doctrines and so on)
o I want to thank people who do good things from time to time, as small as they are, and I want to say that I’m proud of them. Let us remember situations in which good was done to us, I bet we were so thankful and that attitude could melt our hearts.
I’m sure I missed to thank other people, but even if I don’t put these thanks down right here and right now, I can do it personally anytime I feel like doing that.
"I prefer to look people straight in the eyes when I'm speaking to them." This was the first impression when I read the first two paragraphs.WELL DONE!
DeleteP.S. You mentioned critical thinking.It seems you are really concerned about it.
Mike's letter of Thanks
ReplyDeleteI want to thank firstly the nature that created me ..... it’s my mother who has taken care of me and has taught me to be a unique person and I swear that I will take care of you the rest of my life....

Different people, different fates...
We all are too different and that is why our life gives us different challenges. Someone manages to cope with all difficulties and understand some certain meanings, but unfortunately someone just becomes angry and tries to blame everyone instead of looking for an answer in his own mind. People become more gentle when they start to be conscious that to give thanks it is a necessary thing. We open our yes in the morning and don't want to recognize that the Sun is still there, is shining, we don't want to bless our eyes, mouth and mind for starting a new good day. We just put our life into a transparent and monotonous existence. All these things became closer to us than to feel the breeze of the happiness, freedom and love. Now, life is seen as a duty or an obligation, but not as an opportunity or a treasure. It is too unfair.
Thinking about all these aspects, I discovered that I can be included in this category of people too. It seems to me very sad because, I am not so old but already blinded by this webwork of indifference. While I am trying to wake up and do something that will come from the depth of my heart, my mind is getting closed with my memories. Only they can show me all the truth about me.
First of all, I want to apologize to everyone whom I have ever hurted and thank in advance for the understanding and forgiveness, because I know that the strongest people are those, who can forgive. I want to thank the dearest people-my parents, for their big love and beautiful desire to live, that gave birth to me. They know everything about me and are interested only in knowing me healthy and happy. My sister is my soul- she knows how to calm me down and to show me the way I must follow. Thank for her patience and kindness.
God, Thank You for everything: for this beautiful and unique world with all its elements, for my friends that are like air for me, for my teachers that I have ever had-they invested too much in growing up my personality, for the love you give me every second, for the patience you send me through the heart, for the life in peace you maintain in my soul, country and world permanently.
Don't be lazy, it kills and buries you. Start smiling more often, open your heart to the beauty and goodness, don't be shy to express whatever you feel. Be thankful, it helps to survive with pleasure instead of the sickness.
Thanks to everyone!!!

We just put our life into a transparent and monotonous existence. True. I also feel this way, too often lately.But thank you for reminding once again that we must treasure our lives.
Delete“ Thank You God for gave me Life,
ReplyDeleteand thank you Mother for gave me Birth “
I thank God for giving me the most precious- Life. I thank my parents who receive this present and then gave it to me. I thank the earth which keeps me in this world alive.
I thank the Sun which shines on me and gives me straight, and lightens the road I should follow. I thank the Rain that washes my mind, clears up my thoughts and banishes my fears.
I thank the Day and thank the Night, because if not darkness I couldn’t realize the beauty of the light. If the night wouldn’t exist, how could I rest myself and think of nothing, predict the future and dream of heaven? If not dreams, what else could I name as “fairy”?
So, I thank light and I thank dark, like I thank Friends and Enemies. Who else will show me that I’m unique and not the same, if not enemies who don’t love me because they don’t really know me?
I have a shoulder to cry on, and I have arms to hold me when I’m bad. I have tears to blame the pain and I have a smile to cheer the Joy.
For all the beauty, sometimes the bad, I thank it all, because it makes me feel that I live. Life is a streak across Heaven and hell. Because of this, the existence is balanced. It wouldn’t be Life, if it wouldn’t exist Death. It can’t be a Beginning of it isn’t an End.
Everything is divided into black and white, but we are the painters who mix up the colours and make the life colourful.
The words Thank You ! How often do we hear these words? How often do we use them? What do they mean? To thank means to realize that everything in our life is a gift, that was received by us to make us be Thankful !

ReplyDeleteBeing thankful is something holy. First of all I want to thank my parents. They are the meaning of all my life. I always admire them, I love and I can’t imagine my life without them. I am thankful for all the good things they do for me. I am grateful also to my brother, he is the only and the best brother in the world. I am thankful for the fact that he has always supported me in the difficult situations of my life. He is the one who always supports me with a good word. Thank you God that I am a part of such a good family. Please always take care of my family and have them in your guard, because they are my eyes, and as people can’t have a full life without seeing, I can’t live without my family.
Also I am grateful to my friends, my best friends. Friendship is one mind in two bodies. As Anon said "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.” They are the ones who were able to support me with a suitable word in different situations. Best friends are formed by time. Everyone is someone's friend, even when they think they are all alone. If the friendship is not working, your heart will know. It's when you start being less than perfectly honest and perfectly earnest in your dealings. I am always thankful to those that are close to me.
I am thankful to my boyfriend. I love him and I like the most that he knows me very well, he knows all my frawbacks. He is the only one for me. We should always be grateful for the life we have. Thanks for that we are healthy and able to live on this earth and enjoy it.
Alina!

ReplyDelete"A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all other virtues"
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Life can't always stay the same, otherwise it's not life, it changes every single day. With its ups and downs, rights and wrongs life is still beautiful and worth of living but unfortunately not everyone realises this and many nowadays are constantly unthankful.
The sun, the moon, the wind, the rain, your breath, your loved ones these are just some of those many things that you should be thankful for. Life is priceless and it is very short this is why we should try to be always thankful for what we have and fight for more, seeing not the empty half of the glass but the full one.
I want to thank God for creating everything in such a wonderful way, for that I can see, hear, feel, talk, walk, breathe and for the fact that He never forgets to wake me up it the morning even if I often forget to thank Him for this. I thank my parents who raised me and took care of me the best way they could, made me feel loved and cared for, and being always my shelter. I am thankful for the very few true friends I have and hope that we will remain friends for ever. I thank the people that caused me pain and made me cry, no I'm not insane, it's just I know that they are meant to make me stronger. I am thankful for the summer mornings when the warmth of the sun tickles my eyes and wakes me up, for the rainbow I rarely see but when I do it makes me very happy. I am thankful for the kitten I have at home and love so much, for every breath of fresh air, for every butterfly that flies from flower to flower. I thank God for every honest and good man on the planet.
I recognise that I am not always thankful, because it’s impossible, nothing is perfect, but still I do my best, because I hate complaining. Some problems that seem terrible to us would be a piece of cake for others. The question is : why a blind, or a deaf , or a dumb person is thankful and appreciates every second of his life, and why you and I, who seem to have it all can't be thankful?
Nicoleta.
Thanksgiving Letter, Anastasia
ReplyDeleteDear Mom and Dad,
I’m writing for you in order to express my gratitude for everything you have done for me. I would like you to know that I am very proud of you and I really appreciate your help and support you have been giving to me since I was a child. You have taught me many things, you’ve taught me how to behave and how to make friends. With your teaching you’ve made my life more colorful and joyful.
I remember how you spent sleepless nights when I was sick, how you encouraged me in every situation, how you explained to me what is good and what is not. I remember everything and I’m grateful to you for this.
Your love, your hugs, your presence at every important for me event that I have participated in and the way you encouraged me to learn things, all your pieces of advice are the special memories which I’ll always retain in my heart. You made me understood what is life and what I’m living for. You were the first to let me know how to share and care for others and I continue to do this with my close ones. I can say with certainty that you have given me the sweetest moments. Of course, I have often misunderstood some of your advice when I was younger but now I’m aware that everything you’ve done was only for my benefits.
I thank you again for everything. I’m missing you a lot and I hope you’ll come to enjoy winter holidays with all our dear people.
Love you much, your daughter Anastasia!
Thanksgiving leTTer, Anatolie.
ReplyDelete“When a child first catches adults out -- when it first walks into his grave little head that adults do not always have divine intelligence, that their judgments are not always wise, their thinking true, their sentences just -- his world falls into panic desolation. The gods are fallen and all safety gone. And there is one sure thing about the fall of gods: they do not fall a little; they crash and shatter or sink deeply into green muck. It is a tedious job to build them up again; they never quite shine. And the child's world is never quite whole again. It is an aching kind of growing.”
― John Steinbeck, East of Eden.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm writing this thanksgiving letter because I want you to know that I appreciate the help and support you have showered on me since I was a child. At the beginning of my life you always take care about me and also taught me to care. You taught me so many things about the world, family, love, friends, etc. You have always inspired me to do my best and have supported me in every decision I have made. I'm sorry that I have been so far away from home (I miss you every day!). While I honestly do not think I will ever comprehend the true depth of your sacrifice, I can promise that I will continuously try. I truly appreciate all things that you done for me and I swear that I help and will help you in need. Thank you, Mom and Dad. Thanks for pushing me, thank you for believing in me, thanks for being there for me, thanks for being such great parents.
With love,
Tolic.
