The Magic of Being Thankful
During this month of Thanksgiving (in the United States), I thought it only fitting to ask the poignant question: For what am I grateful? I wrote a similar post several years ago. Much water has gone under that bridge – much loss, much hardship – yet Gratitude always trumps Grief. This 10-minute podcast will shed…
