"Thank You" for your "Thank You"

We love to say thank you. Over the years, we have been taught that a thank note, card, or gift is the proper way to acknowledge what someone has done for you. Why is it though, that many of us like my dear wife feel as though we have to send a "Thank You" for the "Thank You". Does this not create an atmosphere where one feels like he or she needs to send a "Thank You" for the "Thank You" for the "Thank You"? Get my drift?

Where does it end? Life is all about giving and receiving. Receiving without feeling the need to reciprocate every gift in life is as much about generosity as the giving of the gift itself.
