Here is what happens when you find the absolute one, and blow it.

How terribly strange to be 70

Research has shown that gratitude can have a number of health benefits, including:

These benefits can be especially helpful for people with health challenges, as they can help to improve overall well-being and quality of life.

Today, my daily goal is a morning trip to Tampa. BUT.... I have a much bigger goal that I have been thinking about for over a year with no clue as to how to get it done. It is multi-faceted and has a handful of moving parts that have been overwhelming to me. Now I am selecting ONE thing that I will do this week to take action on to move this whole process forward.

So tonight I sat down in the studio with zero prep to chat. It ended with me talking about my last conversation with Aunt June. I have so many bat-shit crazy Aunt June stories that my children have begged me to create the "Crazy Aunt June" podcast. Trust me it would be very entertaining. But instead, I share two very personal and private conversations I had with her. One when I was four and one as an adult just before she passed. Also, I know as part of this some folks will want to know why I did not say the name of her son on the show. It is because when I was four and she and I had this conversation she asked me never to mention his name to anyone. I will respect that.

Podcasting is fun. I enjoy doing this but darn. I need a team. We will talk about this today and also, what I want for dinner.

Why not. Without car payments, there are a bunch of families that cannot exist in a way that is supportive of running your household. They can also be a BIG stress. We will explore that today.

Gratitude can be a powerful tool for helping people recover from gambling addiction. When we focus on the things we are grateful for, it can shift our perspective from what we lack to what we have. This can help us to feel more positive and hopeful, which can make it easier to resist the urge to gamble.

There are many ways to practice gratitude. One simple way is to start each day by making a list of three things you are grateful for. It could be anything from your health and well-being to your loved ones to a beautiful sunrise. You can also keep a gratitude journal, where you write down more detailed entries about the things you are grateful for.
