Welcome back to the daily gratitude minute. This is Scott Colby. Thank you so much for joining me. I was recently, uh, out on one of my gratitude hikes. I was leading a family. Uh, and for those of you who don't know, I. It's one of many things that I do. I take groups out on private hiking tours in the smoky mountains.

And we were playing the grateful dead. So the grateful deck is my card deck that I created back in 2020, and it's 120 cards consisting of questions to spark meaningful conversations. And. Uh, helped develop deeper connection. So we always play a few rounds of the grateful deck on my gratitude hikes.

And, uh, I was asked to question, uh, from one of the cards and the question Who is always there for you. And how do you feel about them who was always there for you? And how do you feel about them? I mentioned my friend, Lori Heisler, she's somebody that's always there for me. We've known each other for 10 years now.

Uh, she's been there for the good and the bat, right. She, she, uh, uh, you know, There's something where I'm struggling in my business. She's there lends and ear and helps talk me through challenges that I'm having. When I lost my cat Nomar, she was right there. Um, helping me make that decision to, to say goodbye.

Definitely a great, uh, to have her around for such a. A tough time as saying goodbye to a pet. Um, she's there for the winds too. She reminds me to celebrate the good that I've done in my business or in my life. Uh, so it's nice to have that reminder. She's also an adventure friend, so we like to go out and do fun things together. She's one of those friends that I have fun doing things with.

No matter what we're doing, it's just easy to be around here. I can be my. Complete self around here. So those are the reasons I mentioned, Lori, somebody that's always there for me. And, and, and why. Uh, but I would encourage you to think of that question. You're in your Who's that person that's always there for you and why, and I want you to think about taking a step further and telling that person, maybe write them a handwritten

Maybe you have a phone call with them, maybe if they're, if they live in the same. You know, areas you can have, uh, you know, just, uh, a meal, you know, got to lunch dinner. A cup of coffee and tell them. What they mean to you and why that's, why they're important to you. So it could definitely increase your bond and your connection with that person and watch that.

Relationship grow. So, uh, hope that helps try it. If you do, do something like that, I would love to hear how it goes. You can find me on Instagram at Scott Colby and send me a DM. There would love to connect with you there. Otherwise, thank you so much for joining me. I'm scott colby with say it with gratitude and this has been your daily gratitude minute cheers
