The link above will take you to a video clip that shows, powerfully, how to say "thank you" non-verbally (in sign language)
so that all those times when you wish you had said "thanks" are no longer passing you by.
HOW TO SIGN "THANK YOU"
The American Sign Language sign for "thank you" is quite simple. Actually, the sign we're using for the gratitude campaign literally translates as "thank you from the bottom of my heart."
To make the sign simply place your hand on your heart as though you're saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Then pull your hand down and out, bending at the elbow (not the wrist), stopping for a moment at about the belly with your hand, palm up.
This should be one smooth, straight movement.
(Careful not to make this an arcing movement that returns to and touches the belly - that's the sign for "pregnant"!)
This is a very inspiring campaign and a touching message worthy of being shared with everyone.
I personally recommend it heartily.
