Give Thanks!

Thanksgiving is a holiday, but it is also a way of life. From cultivating gratitude in your life nurturing a pattern of gratefulness, thankfulness has mental, physical, and spiritual benefits to improve your whole life. That’s something to give thanks for!

Chaplain Mike and Lisa the Social Worker explore the meaning and power of gratitude in and around the thanksgiving holiday, how that works with sympathy and empathy, how a humble spirit can make you glad, and how finding something to be thankful for even in the worst of times can lead to resilience and even traumatic growth.

 Happy Thanksgiving!
