Gratitude is very interesting. Uh it's the time of year we talk about it a lot between Thanksgiving and the holidays in December. Um and I want to give a little bit different perspective on gratitude this year. Often we talk about gratitude in terms of people, places, and things. I'm grateful for my family. I'm grateful for my friends. I'm grateful for where I live. And all of those things are indeed true. Um but deeper gratitude I feel like comes from identifying the moments and the experiences rather than just the people, places and things. Um it takes you one step further in the process of thinking through gratitude. So for example, I am grateful for an experience or a moment in time versus just the person. Um last week my son and I um he made someone's day. We called someone who was kind of upset about something and shared some good news for them. And he got so excited at their reaction to the good news, which was really positive. He burst out laughing hysterically. And frankly, I burst out laughing hysterically cuz I didn't even know why he was laughing. And we couldn't stop laughing. And we were just laughing non-stop, which made the person who was having a rough day even like better for them because they were laughing at the fact that we were all laughing. Um, so that's an experience, right? And that when I think about that, that brings so much more joy than just I'm grateful for my son, right? And I am super grateful for him. But it's moments like that that just bring immense joy into the world. So think about your life when you say, "I'm grateful for soand so." Take tie it back to an experience or a moment that you've had with them recently or an experience around a place or a thing even and see how it feels and shifts your feeling of gratitude and takes it one, two, or maybe even three layers deeper than it already was feeling. Um cuz gratitude is joy and it is the time and the year to spread it. So, um I hope everybody is having a wonderful and happy um holiday season, whatever it is that you celebrate. [music]
