Instead of a "thanks", I have a challenge for you. For a whole month or week, if you think it sounds too intimidating, do at least 1 kind thing for one other person, and don't tell anyone about it.
Be there for somebody when they need you, especially if you might have said no before, buy some flowers for somebody you care for, carry the groceries in for your elderly neighbor. It need not cost much money, time, or even effort. A small act of kindness can have a big effect, and, with luck, can propagate outwards from a single moment. Be that moment.

I'm a terrible person that only makes people unhappy so I'd better opt out of the challenge and go with the standard issue thanks.

Does helping (for the last 5 years and still going) 15 stray cats in my neighborhood count?

I like your idea a lot and already try each day to be kinder and more conciderate to others, especially when i want to snap at them (which, to be honest, is due to myself. It's up to yourself how you want to react, no matter what someone else does). You never know what weight others are carrying around and with each smile, each little gesture, we won't bring peace to all of mankind but at least make an effort to make life a bit less frightening. Actually ... the wording was unintentional but there is a fitting song. Rise Against always manage to keep my head above water if I am struggling with life.
