The Daily Grateful with Michael Crose

At a meeting today I was handed this wheel. It is very powerful.

I am pressed for time today and very much need to get out the door. So I asked Google for seven things to be grateful for.

Let us go back in time and let me tell you a story that started in November of 1963 when the whole world was put into a terrible funk and we found ourselves living with little hope. Then on a cold day in February, we found our way back as the world changed forever.

A small group from my technology club had a group discussion about starting a gratitude-based business.

So for today's podcast instead of doing the prep work, I simply sat down in the studio, popped up ChatGTP, and asked it what I should do a gratitude podcast about for January 2nd. Goodness, I am sorry.

Last night I went to a super fun New Year's Eve party that I didn't want to go to. When I tell you I did not want to trust me I did not want to go. But here at The Daily Grateful, we find joy in everything. I went, I had fun, I found joy.

I am sorry for my absence. I went through a bad a__ upper respiratory which has taken much longer than I thought to recover from. But starting on January ist we will be back 5 days a week.

Well, it took six tries and a crying cat, but here are my very personal thoughts on this song.

Today, my daily goal is a morning trip to Tampa. BUT.... I have a much bigger goal that I have been thinking about for over a year with no clue as to how to get it done. It is multi-faceted and has a handful of moving parts that have been overwhelming to me. Now I am selecting ONE thing that I will do this week to take action on to move this whole process forward.

So tonight I sat down in the studio with zero prep to chat. It ended with me talking about my last conversation with Aunt June. I have so many bat-shit crazy Aunt June stories that my children have begged me to create the "Crazy Aunt June" podcast. Trust me it would be very entertaining. But instead, I share two very personal and private conversations I had with her. One when I was four...

Podcasting is fun. I enjoy doing this but darn. I need a team. We will talk about this today and also, what I want for dinner.

I helped him but he helped me a lot more by asking me to help him.
