After spending months going to and from my cancer clinic I have been hit by how well I have come thru my chemo and radiation. Others, young and old, are struggling and hurting every single day and it breaks my heart.<br /><br />On Thursday I watched a very young man, maybe 20's, bone thin, barely walking with a cane, finally wind up laying on the floor in the waiting room - his body in so much pain. My heart hurt seeing him, especially as a mom with kids that age. And yes, I thanked God for my body, even fighting this cancer, and knew He was there with me saying "Your Welcome" Always Nestinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10939539258386341825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-13008228628460214852012-09-28T15:10:08.005-04:002012-09-28T15:10:08.005-04:00When we lived in Finland, it was so so courteous t...When we lived in Finland, it was so so courteous to thank everyone for everything: clerks, especially. I remember well the Finnish word for Thank You, but you know, I don't remember the word for You're Welcome. It was amusing at times, because people would thank you for your thanks and it could on and on all day. My daughter, Judy, whom I think you were in college with was just a tiny girl, but she keep the word for thanks and used it often.

It doesn't sound very nice. <br /><br />You're welcome is much nicer in every way.Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728612514516285320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758915940467026052.post-50510124338817045452012-09-28T12:19:59.748-04:002012-09-28T12:19:59.748-04:00Yes! I totally agree. The "old" niceties...Yes! I totally agree. The "old" niceties are going away, being replaced with words that just don't mean as much. <br /><br />Interesting, isn't it, how changing "You're welcome" to "My pleasure" turns the focus around to the person who's doing the good deed rather than focusing on the person who said "Thank you"? (For the record, it makes me snicker every time someone says, "My pleasure." It's just so fake!)Shelly Wildmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366214414205646931noreply@blogger.com
