Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast.

I'm your host, Mikkel, and today we are talking about gratitude.

Guys, what's up?

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope y'all are doing something super fun today and enjoying time with family.

So my husband and I drove down to California and were spending the week at a beach house with his family.

And I'm like super, super, super excited about it.

So, um, hopefully it doesn't rain too much and we get a chance to try surfing and actually,

like, enjoy the beach. It's not like too freezing cold. But, um, I hope y'all are eating lots of turkey and pumpkin pie and enjoying time with family so

i decided in honor of the holiday that we're going to do an episode episode today on

gratitude and i was just thinking about it a lot and, you know, why gratitude is so powerful in our

lives. And so we all have life with, obviously, we all have a life. And has different situations and yet i think gratitude is

something that is available to everybody i was talking to a friend who went to gana over the summer

and she was just telling me how even though they were missing a lot of the first world

things that we have available to us and that they were such a happy people and how grateful

they were grateful they were for the service that her and her classmates were

offering.

They all went down as like nurses.

And so they were offering like immunizations and like just like health care for them.

And, you know, they were so, so thankful for it.

And I was just thinking like how gratitude was totally available to them

even though they you know don't have as much as we do and i think how sometimes we believe that

getting certain things is going to give us a sense of gratitude or joy.
