So this is a very prompt one, that made me to write. I know @missdeli would relate it easily, as she is the one who made me think over it. Replying to **Thank You**. Today, I realised that I do not reply back on ***thank you*** comments received on my curation or on my posts or anywhere on #hive. The reason being, ***I do know what could be the best way to reply back??***

Over the different phases of life, I have seen different replies to **thank you**

*While I was in school, I was taught that ***mention not*** is the answer when someone say you *thank you*. When I grow up I learned that ***you are welcome*** a good reply for *thank you*. Further, my professional or business etiquette taught me to be more polite and generous by saying ***it's my pleasure***.* 

Three different reply to a single phrases. No doubt saying ***thank you*** is one the good thing to do in life. Afterall you are acknowledging the help and support you get from other and that you are benefitted from it and accepting the gratitude is the best thing to do. But when it comes to curstion, replying to **Thanks you** messages I always fell short of words. 

I curate contents that I find interesting to read and deserve a good rewards. When I curate, I also took away some of the rewards from the post. So now it is like **while I give back , I am also take something from it.** *Either in the form of new learning, new finding, new understanding or something new apart from the curation rewards*. This made me to think ***either to take *'thank you'* from the author or to give them back saying *"thank you"*. This is really getting too confusing for me.***

But, for the time being, as an instant improvement to my habits, I started to reply back with **a smile smiley** and let see how does it work. But, I am interested to learn, 

**what could be the other or the best way to reply back such thank you messages when you receive them or in blogging world.?** 

*Also to add on, what is the best way to say thank you. Is it thank you or thanks?*


## Peace!!
