It was July of 2022 when I was first contacted by the Costco Connection Magazine editors about the possibility of doing an article about my work with gratitude. After sending numerous pictures, and dozens of printed materials about my work as “That Gratitude Guy,” I was assured that the feature would be coming out sometime in the near future. After sending even more pictures and additional content about my gratitude speeches, blogs, and videos, I was never quite sure when the feature would be published. I was informed that Costco has over 120 million members, so it made sense to exercise some discipline as I waited for the article to appear. After 2½ years of waiting, the article finally came out in the November 2024 issue. Not only is patience a virtue, but I think you experience less stress, and very likely may live longer. I am grateful that my patience truly paid off.

Have you adopted an attitude of gratitude, and if you have, how has it enhanced your life?
