In her podcast “Your Daily Chocolate,” Patty Deutsche, has interviewed public servants, founders of not-for-profits, writers and all type of artists. Like its name suggests, the aim of the podcast is to give people bite-sized stories that make them feel good in the same way a sampler box of chocolate offers tastes of goodness. In honor of World Gratitude Day, 2022, Deborah Hawkins talks with Patty about intentional gratitude as an empowering orientation to life and as a way to honor one’s unique values and character. They talk about the merits of making a commitment to see what can be appreciated in the routine events of life. They share thoughts about maintaining realistic expectations. Rather than eradicating sadness or grief, deep appreciation helps a person enjoy life while facing challenges, And, of course, they talk about chocolate.
