Stories of Gratitude

Thanksgiving is an American holiday with, at best, a complicated history. Rooted in colonization and stolen land, it is also a time when families often come together and many of us reflect on the things for which we are grateful. It is this gratitude that we’ll focus on today—not Thanksgiving the holiday, but gratitude the emotion. We asked you, our listeners to submit stories of gratitude, and you came through. In this episode, we’ll hear from a variety writers and poets and every day people with the things for which they are grateful. Featuring original work by Cathy Hannes, Anna Grady, Deanna Costa, Tony Scruggs, Kayla Randolph, Annaliese Baker, Kelsey Day, and Ben Jackson
