    Howdy Drivers! This week is our Season 1 Finale! That's right, we've made it to the end of the road, at least for this year. We'll be back next year with more friendly advice on relationships. This week's subject is gratitude, something we might think about during the Thanksgiving holiday, but should be making into a daily habit. Don gives us some stats on why a daily habit of gratitude can improve your life, and Kym gives us some practical tips on building that habit. Ben laments his journaling habits...or lack thereof.
