Nurse Talk 114: Thanksgiving Gratitude: Your Invisible Operating System
Every year around this time, we talk about gratitude — often like it’s another item on the holiday checklist.

Every year around this time, we talk about gratitude — often like it’s another item on the holiday checklist.
Be thankful.
Write three things.
Find the silver lining.
But the gratitude I’ve witnessed in nurses, caregivers, and everyday human beings doesn’t come from lists or practices.
It comes from something deeper.
It rises from the quiet place inside us where insight lives.
The place Sydney Banks called Mind.
The place Einstein hinted at when he said:
“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.”
This year, I want to invite you to look in the direction of that gift again — not the practice of gratitude, but the source of it.
With respect and clarity,

The Invisible Operating System Behind Gratitude
We live inside an Invisible Operating System — a built-in source of wisdom, peace, and clarity that’s always running beneath the surface.
You’ve touched it thousands of times:
That instant where you suddenly feel grateful just to breathe.
The way your heart softens when you see someone you love.
The warm presence that appears when you stop rushing long enough to notice life again.
You didn’t manufacture those moments.
They rose when your personal thinking quieted.
Gratitude comes from the same place insight comes from.
It is the natural glow of Universal Mind shining through us.
