Gratitude
It’s not about fame. Or about money. Or sex. Gratitude is the key to happiness, and on this week’s podcast, we serve up three original stories of gratitude :
• Jamie Bernstein has journeyed along the familiar human landscape of ups and downs, arriving at a surprising moment of grace.
• Malachy McCourt reflects on life's gifts now that he's reached the stage of his life that he describes as "the departure lounge."
• Mihai Grunfeld asked his mother to share a story of Auschwitz. And she did, exactly once.
And on this week's edition of "Between the Lines," writer, teacher, and mentor Steven Lewis discusses the value and virtues of a terrible first draft. Listen now or anytime!
