Recently I was inspired listening to an interview with AJ Jacobs who wrote “The Gratitude Chain.” He shared the benefits of gratitude with meaningful stories, like this one: One day while savoring his morning cup of coffee, he thought about thanking not only the barista, but every single person who had a hand in making this coffee so meaningful to him. He literally took the time and traveled across the world to thank the sailors, the coffee farmers, the truck drivers, the botanists… He took the time and noticed thousands of people around the world who had a hand in his life. Then he sat down and wrote, “Thanks A Thousand.”
