  May I ask how old you are? Sure, ask. How young
• 0:04
  are you? I'm 94. How long does it take to say
• 0:09
  thank you? For James, 62 years. That's how long
• 0:14
  ago Catherine Ashleman was his kindergarten teacher.

  You'll always be Miss Catherine Ashleman to me.

  For Ryan, more than 50 years. Dear Joe, one Sunday
• 0:24
  morning in 1969, when I was 11 years old, I came
• 0:28
  to you with a distressing dilemma. For Caoimhe,
• 0:31
  10 years and one ocean. I could only hear your
• 0:36
  voice in the background. Caoimhe, push now. Snap
• 0:39
  that lead leg. I'm Jen Shank, and this is the
• 0:43
  first season of The Gratitude Letters. Each episode
• 0:47
  begins with a letter, read aloud to the person
• 0:51
  who shaped us. The letter is just the beginning.
• 0:55
  Then comes the conversation, and you never know
• 0:58
  where that's going to go. I no longer wanted
• 1:00
  to become a pastor. I wanted to become a spy.
• 1:03
  And you know what? I think it's in my basement.

  The tumbleweed? It hasn't tumbled far. In a time
• 1:10
  where we can feel pulled in so many different
• 1:13
  directions, these stories about relationships
• 1:16
  and gratitude can be what grounds us. The Gratitude
• 1:22
  Letters. New episodes every other Thursday starting
• 1:26
  October 1st. Remember, it's never too late. And
• 1:31
  always a good time to say thank you. And just
• 1:35
  in case you're wondering how long it takes to
• 1:37
  write a letter. It doesn't take long on a Sunday
• 1:39
  afternoon.
