Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode. Today's episode is about

having gratitude for every hour that we make it through. This was inspired by a highlight

inside of my storyteller app that a lot of people really connected with. So I wanted to elaborate on that even further.

And I'm just going to read something that I shared within the app. But I also just wanted to share

it here too. And it's about this idea of looking at our lives as one hour at a time. So I just

wanted to take a moment to read that.

As long as you are still breathing, your story is not over.

Your story may take new directions, and there might be periods of waiting that are longer than expected.

But with every hour that turns on the clock, you are free to welcome that

new hour as a small new beginning. Of course, with every hour, we carry so much of what we've

learned from the millions of hours before, but at the same time, we have never lived in this particular hour in this moment of time.

There are times when an hour may seem to last forever, and there are other times when it seems to go

by in a matter of minutes. But no matter where we find ourselves, it is still one hour, and we are allowed to be

grateful for the progress we make in just moving through that one hour. We are allowed to acknowledge

how much courage it took to make it through that past hour, even when there are times when we didn't even want to be courageous.

We were just trying to make it through.

We are allowed to acknowledge that too.

We are allowed to celebrate our creativity for an idea that sparked within the past hour,

even if it doesn't turn into some big idea or project later on,

we are allowed to place our hand over our hearts and just breathe deep, knowing that we made

it through one more hour. Even if we just do this for a few seconds and even if we don't even remember

what happened in the past hour, this is still true. There will be some hours, days, and weeks
