I’ve been trying to practice gratitude this year to fight against the fear and toxicity that’s felt overwhelming at times. So, I decided to make a special, extended Thanksgiving episode to share this idea with you.
I chose works from former episodes by Richard Norris Brooke, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Aelbert Cuyp that reflect some aspect of family, generosity, or forgiveness that really resonates. I hope they help you to also step back and find balance in remembering the good things.
