I live on my own, but always give a silent thanksgiving as I eat. In a world that still has plenty of those who don't, I am grateful to God.

@FreddieUK I'm sort the same when I'm at my place but I say it out loud. It's good to pause and think a while before wolfing it down. 😂

@FreddieUK A good point. I am not religious but am very aware that although by no means wealthy I am a lot better off than many people.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
No.

It was used in my school in the 1960s (more than half a century ago!) and is still a rather ceremonial touch to the semI-formal Annual Dinner of a long-established club to which I belong.

It doesn't mean anything if you are not religious; nor if just a ritual for the sake of ritual or "we've always done it" (to avoid thinking?).
No. Although I did at school and when I moved schools because of moving to a new area I didn’t there either. I’m not sure what that was all about in the first school.

My daughter is named Grace, so I do say things to Grace before dinner.

No. The focus of my life has always just been centered around the gratitude rather than a religious expression of it.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@JustNik Agreed, I am extremely grateful, but not in the religious sense.

Not since my mother died in 1990

Nope. We only did that on holidays when the grandmas were there so my parents could pretend we were a happy family.
Lugwho · 61-69, M
No. Never have.
DrWatson · 70-79, M
Yes. Although nowadays that usually means just my wife and I.
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
Never have even from early childhood. I'm very non-religious.

Only when I was little, my grandma insisted. But now I'm a heathen. 🤷🏾

Always when we are at home. Silently in public.
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
Nope. My family did growing up though.
Iwillwait · M
When together, yes.
dareme · 36-40, MVIP
No, we never did.
No, you don't do that in an atheist family.
Adrift · 61-69, F
Only if she needs to come to the table.
Allelse · 36-40, M
No we're not religious.
BlobbyMcBlobface · 100+, M
No but I say bottoms up before downing a shot.
Unquestioned · 70-79, M
No, that's never happened.
22Michelle · 70-79, T
No, it's just nonsense.

Not always, but most of the time. 🙏🙂
Ducky · 31-35, F
No. What are we, a pack of troglodytes?

No that’s ridiculous
