Episode 56: Giving Thanks

Saying "thank you" just seems like a given. Or it used to. Someone bestows a gift of some sort on us, and we reply with our gratitude. But did you ever consider that expressing gratitude is a gift itself?

We have the opportunity to impact those closest to us with respect and consideration, connecting with them on a deeper level. And it is partly through gratitude that we can deepen those relationships.
