Criminal Justice Evolution

In this episode of Microcast Monday, Patrick shares a simple reminder to treat every day like Thanksgiving – not about eating turkey, but about giving thanks. If you’re alive and reading this, consider yourself lucky. The point? Be more grateful for what you have rather than complaining about what you don’t.
