Can the trite, often-over-used declarations from TV's 'talking heads' teach us anything about finding gratitude? Let's find out, in this episode of 'The Gratitude Journal' podcast.

Gratitude Journal

Thank You, Talking Heads

The warm sound of 'vinyl'. The warm feeling of a liquid being inserted in to your vein. Same thing?  In this episode, Matthew used his old album-collection to help focus on 'the past', where it sits, where it should be allowed, and how it sizes up things for the present.

Drop the Needle

What can 'Words With Friends' teach us about 'gratitude'? Who cares if you have bad letters...it's our job to make them work! Passive vs Active, in this episode of 'The Gratitude Journal' podcast! 

When Your Letters are A-G-D

Wanna go for a ride? In this episode, Matthew breaks open the bicycle helmet, turns on the small lav microphone, and embarks on the Freedom Trail, taking you with him as he discusses the value of the 'what-if' moment.

What-If on Two Wheels

First 'good', then 'bad'. Then back to 'good', and then returning to 'bad'. In this episode, Matthew uses 'celebration' and 'loss' as entry-points into a discussion on 'duality', and how the 'yin and yang' of our lives are indirectly dependent on each other!

Yin-Yang-Yada-Yada

'Indians', 'Wahoo', and a lifetime of baseball memories! In this episode, Matthew says 'goodbye' to his beloved baseball team, reflects on the difficulty of new beginnings, and why 'baseball' is still the greatest game ever invented.

So Long, Wigwam

Did that person thank you?  In this episode, Matthew ponders the reasons we do what we do and the impact on our 'gratitude expectations'.

Where Is the Wind In My Sails

'Solitude' vs 'Being Alone'.  How much of a difference is there? And in the midst of bone-crushing loneliness, can any gratitude be found? That's next, in the episode of the 'The Gratitude Journal' podcast! 

Solitary Refinement

Your house is burning down...what do you take? What's most important? Is this episode, Matthew gives thought to the things of 'value' and the things of value that we may even part with, so that other can derive value from them. Is it even possible?

Off-Off-Off-Off

Anyone ever help you 'change direction'? Anyone force you off the road you were on? Was it for the better? Or worse? In this episode, Matthew chats about the people who helped him 'veer off course', and the effect that that fork in the road had on his life.

The Awesome Off-Ramps

Either/or? Could be or could not be?  Can 'past' be 'present' again? In this episode, Matthew reflects on being appreciated by former employers, consuming exceptional pizza, and carving up the roads on a Triumph...but maybe not in that order.  If things like these can no longer be experienced, is being grateful that we had the chance to have them in our life enough?

Job Offers, Motorbikes, and Pizza

When crap turns to...not-so-crappy?  In this episode, Matthew ponders the 'bad'...and how, potentially, we can dig deeper to find the 'good'.  Just maybe.

Like Putting Lipstick on a Piggy

Prior to hitting the road for his sister's wedding, Matthew urges subscribers and non-listeners alike: get vaccine, people!

Get the Darned Vaccine

Can a nun lay the groundwork for standing up for yourself? In this episode, Matthew gives 'gratitude props' to Sister Mary Dorothy, the young, intelligent nun who encouraged questioning the teacher and the teachings.

Sister Bad-Ass

Can 'memory foam' mold is in to being more grateful? Matthew throws back the covers on 'the bed', in this episode of 'The Gratitude Journal Podcast'.
