A sustained practice of gratitude takes a deliberate approach to caring for yourself when giving to others. In this podcast, we will explore the extraordinary in our lives and those events that led up to the foundation of the extraordinary, such as those that occur before receiving a much-needed miracle that opens up the possibility of awareness of an infinite number of miracles that support the foundation for the daily miracles in one’s life. Saint Augustine stated that “miracles are not in contradiction to nature. They are only in contradiction with what we know of nature” (Saint Augustine Quotes, n.d.). We often see this phenomenon as science catches up and is able to explain the process of the miracle. But sometimes, as many biblical texts and personal experiences are noted, miracles happen beyond explanation or understanding.
Of course, we will explore the literature from a holistic and cultural perspective to provide multi meanings and value to the good that occurs in life. As always, the first step is to conduct a needs assessment of your wellness dimensions to ensure that unmet needs are addressed or at least identified. The second building block is based on developing a situationally aware practice of gratitude to avoid the pitfalls of the dark side of a practice of gratitude. Finally, we will explore the inner workings of sustaining healthy habits and how to embed a practice of gratitude and the acknowledgment of the extraordinary miracles that occur in life. Identifying the extraordinary events in our lives as part of our gratitude of practice will also quickly expand our gratitude experience new dimensions. Also, if your gratitude practice seems a little stale or repetitive, identifying the extraordinary in life will add new excitement to your practice of gratitude.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
