Summary
It's Thanksgiving week in the US, and that has Kristee and Sierra thinking about all things GRATITUDE! In this episode, they discuss their own preconceived notions of gratitude, how journaling and introspection has helped them, and how toxic positivity can be disguised as "guilt gratitude." This episode also features some incredibly personal and touching listener stories of how practicing gratitude and changing one's perspective can truly change everything. In the face of one of the most difficult years on record, let's take stock of what's really important, and all we have to be grateful for- including all of YOU that listen to Fingers Crossed. Thank you!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, what's up and welcome back to episode, I think it's 19 of Fingers crossed podcast. |
| 0:16.0 | It is so crazy how far we've gotten with this and we are just absolutely loving it. |
| 0:20.6 | So welcome back thank |
| 0:21.5 | you so much for being here we're your hosts i'm sierra and i'm christie guys welcome tuesday added again |
| 0:27.1 | ready to talk here i am are you listening as soon as it started because if so at six a m and good |
| 0:32.4 | morning to you i hope you have coffee honestly i don't think i could do it at six a m i don't think i |
| 0:36.8 | could handle us, |
| 0:37.9 | like, yelling and laughing at our own jokes at 6. But you know what? Maybe it's the kind of thing, |
| 0:42.6 | like, if you work early, and you start off with a podcast on your way to work, if you've got to |
| 0:46.7 | commute, like it's a way to, like, jolt you into forcing you to be awake at that time of day. That's true. That's a good point. Versus like just sitting slothly in your car alone with your thoughts, which was me on my way |
| 0:56.0 | to Disney every single morning. Did you listen to a podcast on your way to Disney? |
| 1:00.1 | No, no. I'm saying I didn't and I just sat alone with my thoughts and then I would be like |
| 1:03.9 | asleep and grumpy. Sometimes I'd listen to music. Every now and then, like, during Christmas, I would, like, blast Panatonic's Christmas album, and then I would, like, get to Disney being all holly jolly, but, you know. |
| 1:13.0 | Something that is so bizarre about Sierra, to me at least, is that she loves to drive in silence. |

| 1:29.9 | classical station that's hosted by the nearby university public platform. Or classic rock or |
| 1:36.5 | Christmas music or mama. Okay, no, but I'm saying almost never when I get in your car, |
| 1:41.4 | are you playing anything? It's just silent. Well, no, I turn it on when |
| 1:44.3 | other people are in the car because they know they prefer it. But yeah, I like driving in silence. |
| 1:47.9 | It's peaceful. It's so strange to me. I immediately need to like blast my own thoughts out of my |
| 1:52.3 | brain and play some music. Well, maybe that's something you should discuss with a therapist, |
