Hmmm. I am grateful for and appreciative of my friends, and they're not objects.
Your friends are non-corporeal? Are these imaginary friends? Everything physical is an object.
But that’s as may be. I was using ‘object’ in the grammatical sense. When you express thanks, you have to be thanking something.
