Words to Say Thank You

Lexical Research

I am very lucky. No, I haven’t made a fortune with my little stories. But some writers read them, highlight them, publish them and comment on them. Very often after an encouraging comment or advice, I just say thank you. I say it over and over. So you may think that my answers are automatic or meaningless. They aren’t. I am truly and sincerely grateful, but….words fail me. Is that so bad? I don’t think so. However, on my list, I plan to do a little research to find different expressions to vary a little my answers and thanks. It is the least I can do and I may even create some new ones. Aren’t we here to play with words? Even if, at the end of the day, there is nothing better and more precious than a simple “thank you!”
