Happy Thanksgiving from The Captain!  This week, I discuss the concept and physical and mental health benefits of expressing gratitude. I highlight a couple of ways we can grow our gratitude for those we care about.  I also provide some mental health tips for how to manage the holiday season and still preserve your mental health.  For added reference, I'm feeding y'all a little family dinner with the 1996 classic film, Soul Food!  Or you know, the Goodie Mob song, or the Big K.R.I.T. song.  Your pick.
