Our Bad Choices
A Wake-Up Call for Anyone Who Thinks They’re the Only One Paying the Price
We rarely see the full impact of our decisions while we’re making them. In the moment, we justify. We defend. We act out of emotion, fear, pride, or pain. We think we’re only hurting ourselves—or we don’t think at all. But somewhere down the line, after the dust settles, we start to notice the quieter casualties. The friend who went silent. The child who stopped trusting. The partner who stayed, but stopped hoping. This book is not about reliving shame. It’s about finally seeing what we couldn’t before—and choosing to grow from it.

No Grapes in Grateful is a deeply personal reflection on what it means to stay soft, strong, and rooted—especially when life doesn’t go as planned. Author Keith Thorn offers readers an honest and hope-filled look at the moments we don’t post about: the near-misses, the delays, the disappointments, and the silent prayers left unanswered.
Through thirteen heartfelt chapters and powerful bonus pages, Thorn gently dismantles the myth that gratitude only belongs to those who’ve received what they asked for. Instead, he makes a compelling case that some of life’s greatest gifts come not from getting—but from growing.
Blending memoir, reflection, and practical tools, No Grapes in Grateful is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Where’s the good in this?” and hoped there was still purpose in the pause. With warmth and wisdom, this book invites you to trade bitterness for better, and to discover that even without grapes, there is still so much to be grateful for.

I just finished reading No Grapes in Grateful, and congratulations on creating such a heartfelt and hopeful work. What really stood out is how you re-frame gratitude, not as something tied to what we’re given, but to what we grow through. That perspective is both grounding and liberating.
