In fact, we don’t have to wait for   36   to thank the ones closest to us---the ones so easily  37  . If I have learned anything about giving thanks, it is this: Give it now!  38  your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere, act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to  39   to the world's happiness. Saying thanks not only  40  someone else's world, it brightens yours. If you're feeling left  41  , unloved or unappreciated, try reaching out to others. It may be just the ___42  you need.        Of course, there are times when you can't express gratitude  43  ．In that case don't let embarrassment sink you into silence —speak up the first time you have the chance．        Once a young minister. Mark Brian, was sent to a   44    town of Kwakiutl Indians in British Columbia. The Indians, he had been told, did not have a  45  for thank you. But Brian soon found that these people had  __46 generosity. Instead of saying thanks, it is their custom to  47  every favor with a favor of their own, and every kindness with an equal or superior  48  . They do their thanks．        I wonder if we had no words in our  49  for thank you, would we do a better job of  50  our gratitude? Would we be more responsive, more sensitive, more caring?        Thankfulness sets in motion a chain reaction that  51  people all around us—including ourselves.
