Good morning and welcome to wake me up. I'm Tyler, your host, and this is the podcast where morning people are made.

It's Thanksgiving this week in the United States,

and it's by far my favorite holiday,

because it's not about buying stuff doesn't matter what

your religious beliefs are it's just about being grateful for what we have by

sharing a meal with people we love.

And on a very deep human level, there is nothing more fulfilling than good food and community.

So following on last year's Thanksgiving episode,

I've decided it's a good time for us to give thanks once again.

Before we begin, I want to give a very special shout out to Chiron, who just signed up for the Wake Me Up, Patreon community.

Thanks for your support of the show.

Now, let's get started.

Maybe you're in bed, maybe you're up and about already. It doesn't really matter.

But wherever you are, just pause. And let's all take a big breath in together.

So inhale, filling all the way up,

hold it, and then exhale.

Let's do one more just like that.

So inhale, hold, and exhale. Great. Now you can feel free to roll around in bed, stretch yourself out, or just enjoy this last moment of peace and quiet before the day begins.

While you do that, let me tell you how grateful I am to share this morning with you.

I started this show almost two years ago on a whim to test out an idea I'd had.
