WEBVTT - Gratitude Amidst Tragedy

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, Peeves, and welcome to okay F Daily with

0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody pre recording from the Long

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>Island Bunker, Folks. Every year on the holiday known as Thanksgiving,

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 1>for the past couple of years on wok F, I've liked,

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I have wanted to, and I've liked to and I

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>have um dedicated a show to gratitude Thanksgiving. As we

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>all know who are politically astute and just you know,

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>aware of the many, many lies that we have to

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>unlearn as we get older. From our k through twelve

0:00:52.880 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>in doctrinization, is wasn't a celebration of a coming together

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of two cultures. In fact, it was quite the opposite.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 1>It was the decimation of Indigenous people. It was a

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>decimation of their good will and hopefulness to be in

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>community with these newcomers to what they the indigenous population

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Native Americans believed was shared land and a shared experience.

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>And instead, as we all know, that the Europeans that

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>would make their way to the United States would claim

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>it as their own, would destroy the land, which would

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>commit genocide over countless generations. And I believe that currently

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>we are living the results of that trauma. Particularly in

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:02.960
<v Speaker 1>this country, and just the assumption that it was just

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the times, it's just the way that things are. We

0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 1>accept the fact that hundreds and thousands of people in

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>this country enslaved other human beings. We just accept that.

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>We accept that policies were created in order to have

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a permanent underclass in this country. We just accept that.

0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>We accept genocide and rape and brutalization and violence and

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 1>horror as just a part of what it means to

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>live in America. And they say consistently that those that

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>do not understand their history will be condemned to repeat it.

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>And not only do we repeat our history in this country,

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it seems to get worse as passing generations happen. And

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>what do I mean by worse? The desire to cover

0:02:55.160 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>up reality, the desire to deny the wrongdoing as a

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 1>way to absolve those of us living now from the

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 1>responsibility that we have in order to continue to educate people,

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>educate young people, educate elders so that we can come

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>to a more acceptable common ground, a more create, more

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>of a community that is steeped with the same shared

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:27.519
<v Speaker 1>values right of humanity and love and peace and goodwill.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And you know, as I reflect, and I promise this

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>will get more uplifting. But as I always reflect this

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 1>time of year, as we close out the year on

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>all that's transpired, I find myself really overwhelmed this week.

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And I said this to you all yesterday that I

0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>hadn't really allowed myself to process the shooting that just

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 1>took place in Colorado Springs until I was in the

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>middle of my interview with Jonathan. And it took a

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>lot for me to kind of choke back tears because

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't allowed myself to feel paying. And I think

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>that Jonathan, you know, provided earlier in the week his

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>medical perspective as to why we do that this disassociation

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:40.480
<v Speaker 1>as a way to have self preservation. But the reason

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.680
<v Speaker 1>why I do it, I think why I was trying

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:48.720
<v Speaker 1>not to feel is because I'm genuinely really tired of

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>being sad. And you know, we get these couple of bumps,

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, like with the midterm elections and the fact

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 1>that more young people Generation Z turned out in higher

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>numbers than was to be expected, and that we're going

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to have our first Gen Z member of Congress enter

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>into Congress from Florida's tenthsion congressional District, Maxwell Frost, and

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we have more women that are serving, we have more

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>people of color that are serving, And so I really

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>tried and try to hold on to those good things,

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 1>because without those good grains, right, we just exist in

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>a land of despair. And I know and you know

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>that that is the goal, right of the Republican parties,

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>to create a country that is rocked by despair and

0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>grief and trauma and violence so that they can shape

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.400
<v Speaker 1>themselves as the party to fix the things that they

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>have caused. So I try not to despair, and I

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.480
<v Speaker 1>try not to put myself in the shoes of those

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>who have lost family members to gun violence, whether it

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>be mass shootings, which are just commonplace a part of

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what it means to be an American, whether it be

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, domestic violence, whether it be gang violence, whether

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>it be anything. The fact is is that there are

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>too many fucking guns on the streets, and we have

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>politicians that stoke fear, Republican politicians that stoke fear and

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>add to the climate that is already heightened and as

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>breaching a breaking point. It's hard. It's hard to look

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:02.799
<v Speaker 1>at young queer kids in Colorado who had this one

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>place for their safe haven shattered right then it hearkens

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>back to Pulse. It hearkens to Buffalo and families on

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a Saturday morning going grocery shopping. It's hard to think

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>about what to be thankful for and have gratitude for

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of so much angst and tragedy and

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 1>anxiety and anger and rage and sadness. So I don't

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>want to go over what happened in Colorado as if

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>it's some type of speed bump and we're just moving

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 1>on to the next thing. What I want to say

0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>is that I know for many of you, like myself,

0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>that it is hard to sit around a table with

0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:13.200
<v Speaker 1>chosen family, blood family, a mix of friends and family

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.880
<v Speaker 1>and not just want to collapse into despair, collective despair.

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>So what I want to offer today is that we

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>can hold multiple things at one time. We can hold

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>grief in our hearts for the unrelenting gun violence and

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>mass shootings that have become the norm in our society

0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>over close to thirty years. We can hold hope for

0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>the next generations to solve the previous generations problems as

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 1>we celebrate the fact that there was no red wave

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>that more people showed up to vote in this midterm

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>election than I've ever voted before, and we can feel

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>proud about that. So we can hold pride in our

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>hearts alongside grief. We can hold hopefulness for more people

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>becoming conscious to their power right, because that's what the

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>midterms showed me and why I was and continue to

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:46.079
<v Speaker 1>be happy about how folks turned out at the beginning

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of this month, because I tell you all the time,

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>sometimes I turn on this microphone and I feel like

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I am speaking out into a void, and I feel

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>like there's only a hand full of people that are

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>listening and who are nodding along with me, but that

0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.840
<v Speaker 1>there is no real impact that is happening, because the

0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>tragedies just keep happening. And then I get wonderful, amazing

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:23.839
<v Speaker 1>emails and dms and messages and tweets that are not

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>just about boosting my own ego but really reminding me

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:35.559
<v Speaker 1>that this work matters and that you all matter, and

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:39.319
<v Speaker 1>that I am really grateful for the opportunity to do

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>what I love and do what I feel like I

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 1>have been called to do for the past several years

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:52.640
<v Speaker 1>on wok F. It is really a privilege and an

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>honor to speak to each and every one of you

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>on a daily basis, And I can't thank you enough

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>for the words of encouragement that I receive that really

0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>do keep me going, And even if I don't respond immediately,

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>know that, like, there are days when my heart feels

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>really closed, when I feel really tired and just kind

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 1>of done with this country and it's madness, and as

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>trying not to cry on this episode, and your shared

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>messages and encouragement and just ability to kind of pull

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 1>me out of the darkness, I'm just so appreciative of

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>because there isn't a probably a week that goes by

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that some family member or a friend of mine doesn't

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>tell me to find a new job. And it's not

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>because they don't think that I am good at it,

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>or because they don't have any impact, but because they're

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:14.080
<v Speaker 1>consistently worried about the toll that it takes on my

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>emotional and mental well being. And that's okay because we

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 1>have gotten back on the path to physical and mental wellness.

0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You guys know that I meditate multiple times a day,

0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and every once in a while I have these fits

0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 1>where I will get into physical activity again and then

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll get pulled away and it'll be weeks that I

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't worked out, and so I am holding myself accountable

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as I am slowly but surely getting back into that

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.960
<v Speaker 1>physical activity as well and not You know, it's funny.

0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that what happens to with age is that

0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.280
<v Speaker 1>initially you kind of want to work out, then diet

0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 1>because you want to fit into an outfit, or you

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 1>have a special occasion coming up, or you want to

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.640
<v Speaker 1>make somebody jealous, or you want to make yourself feel good.

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think that what happens with age, and I

0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>was having this conversation with my mother is you know,

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 1>for those of you who have listened to the show

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 1>for many years, you know that my mother, at the

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>beginning of twenty twenty, right when the pandemic was happening,

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>was diagnosed with a brain tumor, and thankfully it was benign,

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>and thankfully she recovered. And we were talking about her

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>recovery because the only reason she was able to bounce

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 1>back is because my mother is so physically fit, is

0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 1>because she not only owns a yoga studio, but she

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 1>works out every single day. And you know, whether it

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is walking or yoga or Pola bodies. Her physical and

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>emotional and mental well being has always been a priority

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>in her life, and I realize now that the reason

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>why she's been able to bounce back from ailments that

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 1>would take anyone down her age or older, sometimes even younger,

0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>is because they don't have a good foundation. So as

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we continue to deal with the stress, the stressors and

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the trauma and all of the things that do bring

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>us down, both emotionally and physically, it is just really

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>important that if you are, if you do have the

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>ability to be mobile, that you are, whether it is

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:53.280
<v Speaker 1>ten minutes a day, fifteen minutes a day or more,

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to give that gift to yourself to wake up with

0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:04.720
<v Speaker 1>gratitude for an able body. And if you don't have

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 1>an able body, if in some way you in fact

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.760
<v Speaker 1>are disabled, there are so many ways in which to

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 1>exercise in a way that you can, right. So I

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.760
<v Speaker 1>say that to folks, because you know, I do find

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>myself the last couple of weeks being really grateful for

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the ability to go walking, for the ability to you know,

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:37.840
<v Speaker 1>take classes, and the ability to work from home, particularly

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>at times after these shootings when I feel really unsafe, right,

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and I have a lot of privilege because I'm able

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to record these shows from the safety of my home.

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>But we know that there are people that are shot

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and killed inside of their homes as well. But I

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 1>don't want us to give up all the things that

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:04.080
<v Speaker 1>make us whole, happy human beings, which is the ability

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to take care of ourselves and then take care of

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the ones that we love. So I just want to

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 1>give gratitude for all of you and for all that

0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we have built together and all that we hopefully will

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 1>continue to build together for years to come. Woke F

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't exist without the woke F community. I wouldn't exist

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.240
<v Speaker 1>in the work that I do if I didn't have

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 1>people that were willing to listen to me on a

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>regular basis and take in what I say and create

0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>your own mustard seeds of hope. But yeah, this has

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>been a tough week, and I think that it's okay

0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to both hold the joy of being able to take.

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully everyone is able to take a day or two

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>to gather with those that you love, and whether that

0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:18.320
<v Speaker 1>it is that happens in person or remotely, take the

0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>opportunity if you haven't talked to somebody in a while,

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>if you haven't text with them, and now it feels

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:32.680
<v Speaker 1>awkward and weird to reach out. Just reach out. Let

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the people know who you love that you love them often, right,

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Take an opportunity to go around your table, if that

0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is where you will be this week, to really think

0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.239
<v Speaker 1>about what you are grateful for, and not just in

0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the moment that the question is asked, but really think

0:17:53.240 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 1>about it every single day. Not everyone has the ability

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.199
<v Speaker 1>is given the gift of waking up every day. Not

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.280
<v Speaker 1>everybody that leaves their home return safely at the end

0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>of each day. And I think that we take these

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:17.360
<v Speaker 1>little baby miracles for granted because we're always hoping and

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>wishing and trying to manifest the next great thing. Opening

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:24.840
<v Speaker 1>our eyes is a great thing, the honor of being

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:29.880
<v Speaker 1>able to be present each and every day. As my

0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 1>mother says all the time, and as many Yogis say,

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>they call it the present because it's a gift right.

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.399
<v Speaker 1>The future is not has not happened, and the past

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 1>is done right. So I just want each and every

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>one of us, whether around the table with our family

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and friends, are over zooms or text messages, to create

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>space for those that we love, and to fill that

0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>space with a love and empathy and compassion and grace

0:19:02.359 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>for ourselves and for everyone around us. We are all

0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>dealing with more than we are sharing, and let us

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:15.720
<v Speaker 1>not walk through life making assumptions about other people's pain.

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Some are visible and some are not. Some will be

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>shared and some won't. But I think that that is

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the point of grace, and that is the point of

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>empathy and compassion and love. Right So, my hope for

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 1>all of you, and this is a genuine hope, is

0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 1>that with each and every day that you're granted, that

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you find something to be grateful for, even if that

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 1>day that you can only say it is just the

0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>error that I'm taking in my lungs, and that each

0:19:56.240 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and every one of us live in a way that

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:04.080
<v Speaker 1>if we were taken tomorrow, it would still be a

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>life well lived. I am so very grateful to each

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 1>and every single one of you that listens to the show,

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that shares, the show that holds me in your hearts

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and your minds. I am just genuinely appreciative, and I

0:20:22.840 --> 0:20:27.679
<v Speaker 1>wish for you all as we enter into multiple different

0:20:27.680 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 1>types of holiday seasons, that we find a way to

0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 1>hold all of our emotions, but most importantly, peace and

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:44.600
<v Speaker 1>joy and gratitude in our hearts. That is it for

0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:49.800
<v Speaker 1>me today. Dear friends, on this Thanksgiving episode of Will
