Hard Things Don’t get the Final Word

by | Nov 5, 2026

A good night’s sleep. Warm clothes. Even a microwave. For Kathleen McCray, noticing everyday comforts was part of a simple practice that changed how she saw her life.

In this conversation from The Gratitude Project series on The Mindset Playground, host LouAnne Hunt talks with Kathleen about the nightly habit she shares in her chapter. She would sit down at the end of the day and think of three things she was grateful for. Over time, she began spotting those moments as they happened.

Kathleen and LouAnne also talk about what gratitude looks like when life is hard and how it can change the way you respond to a situation. If you’d like to try Kathleen’s practice, take a moment tonight to remember three things from your day you’re glad you got to experience.
