Gratitude is Not Just for Thanksgiving

Muchas Gracias

I learned from my globetrotting friend, Santosh that one of the nicest things a traveller can do is to learn how to say the basics in the language of the locals. He stressed that saying THANK YOU is the MOST important word of all.  His guide to global gratitude is below:

Czech: Děkuji
Danish: Tak
Dutch: Dank u
Estonian: Tänan teid
Filipino: Salamat
Finnish: Kiitos
French: Merci
Gaelic: Go raibh maith agat
German: Danke
Hungarian: Köszönöm
Indonesian: Terima kasih
Italian: Grazie
Japanese: Arigato
Latvian: Paldies
Norwegian: Takk
Polish: Dziękuję
Portuguese: Obrigado
Romanian: Mulţumesc
Spanish: Gracias
Swahili: Asante
Swedish: Tack
Vietnamese: Cảm ơn bạn
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr

What Can You Change About Your Life in One Day?

When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light, for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food, and the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies with yourself. – Tecumseh, Shawnee Chief
