Overthunk [Bonus] Ep 14 - The One About Gratitude

Welcome to this bonus episode of Overthunk! Today’s episode features your favorite ensemble group of overthinkers, Aaron and Chris, along with some excellent guests. This one kinda came out of the blue… and then faded away and then came back again! The rhythm and cadence of this one felt like it perfectly mimicked the patterns in life. First came this idea then some movement, then some interruptions, procrastination, doubt and then new inspiration and perseverance to keep going until the conclusion.

For me this may be the most personally rewarding episode I’ve done so far… The holidays were different this year for most I imagine. We canceled plans to travel and see friends and family and I let that take a toll on me emotionally. These conversations reminded me of the love and support we offer each other through good times and challenging times. It was a powerful reminder that being grateful isn’t a matter of circumstances it’s a choice we make moment by moment day by day. Thanks to my wife and son, Tiffany and Preston, my partner in the podcast, Aaron, my brother Tom and my Dad, Ken Baker for being a part and for helping lift my spirits today and always.

I would encourage you to do something similar if you feel the urge. If you’d like some pointers on how to record your own conversations with family and friends feel free to drop me a line at overthunkshow@gmail.com
