Gratitude
You are totally right ... very few people every say thanks to their natural parents for giving birth to them. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't. "Thank you" to me just means that you appreciate what someone has done. Since I was drilled with manners, I thank people for passing me the salt, opening the door, handing me a piece of paper from the copier. What my bmom and my aparents did for me is on a much higher level and certainly deserves my appreciation. And, no I didn't thank my aparents nearly enough ... but I did thank them for the life and love they gave me
Think how great it feels when our children express appreciation to us. Maybe what the world needs is more appreciation for all that others due for us in this interconnected world. Just an opinion.
