This week, our listeners call in and tell us what they’re grateful for! With the current state of the world, we might have fewer things to be grateful for or maybe we’re grateful for things we couldn’t have anticipated in January 2020. Whatever the case may be, there’s still reasons to be grateful. And it’s okay to feel grateful, even with so much suffering in the world. Gratitude grounds us. It can clear our minds and give us hope for the future. Begin your year right by sharing in our listeners’ gratitude.
