Hello to you and welcome to another episode of the Mark Roast podcast.

I woke up this morning practicing something that I've been doing for about a month now,

which is waking up and just saying thank you.

Thank you for another day.

Thank you for another opportunity.

My friend was telling me that that's something that Wayne Dyer did.

And for me, in the depths of sort of the pain of a breakup as well as any life transitions

that we've all been through, through news that we didn't expect or just experiences that

we've had, it's hard to do that.

It's hard to say, oh, you know, just find the joy in it or everything's happening for

a reason.

Not this shit, what the hell?

We feel a bit dismissed when people say that to us.

We can feel that way.

And it's actually when someone's first experience, something not a great way to respond to them.

A great way is I can't imagine what you're going through.

And simply that, how do I support you?

And for me, beginning the morning with thank you, no matter my state, no matter the transitions,

no matter.

Just feel the sense of peace and gratitude wash over me.

It's a practice that I've been enjoying and so I thought I'd share it with you.

That it allows me to see the world at least through the eyes of gratitude.
