My friend Kriston and I have been working together on several projects. I've been doing illustrations for her projects and she's been helping to manage a page for my podcast The Wonderlist. 

Quite often she'll thank me for helping her and I'll do the same.

Sometimes we get into these gratitude cycles, where one of us will thank the other for something one of us did as a thank you for something else. We end up giving thanks for acts of gratitude that were done to show appreciation for generosity.

It's a seemingly never-ending cycle. In fact, Kriston made that remark recently. I laughed and commented that it's not a bad cycle to be in.

Gratitude usually inspires generosity which in turn ought to be met with gratitude. It's an awesome cycle!
