Member Laura Nemeth provides this week’s program. She writes,

“We may have used this program at some point in the past, but I felt this was a good time to share it because of the holiday season. All the hustle and bustle of the season. It’s a good time to reflect, slow down, and be grateful for the people you have in your lives, not just the physical items.”

Want to be happy? Be grateful.

The one thing all humans have in common is that each of us wants to be happy, says Brother David Steindl-Rast, a monk and interfaith scholar. And happiness, he suggests, is born from gratitude. An inspiring lesson in slowing down, looking where you’re going, and above all, being grateful.
