In addition to these, I’d add that a spirit of gratitude can be of benefit to your spiritual life, family life, and community life as well.  So, to not belabour the science of this, or the further list off benefits, I want to express my gratitude.  What am I grateful for?  All of you.  Trust me when I say, without my Natural High Family, my family life would suffer, my emotional state would be affected, my spiritual life would flounder, obviously my career would be very different, my health would suck, and I’d be a lot less fun to be around.  You guys are such a big part of my life.  And of course my family is everything to me and I wouldn’t trade them for the world, but my Natural High Community gives me a purpose outside of my home.  I love the quote by Howard Thurman, in which he says, ‘Do not ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive!  Then go and do that, because the world needs people who have come alive!’.  You make me come alive, and so to each of you reading this, who have been a part of our Natural High Family for so much of my professional life, thank you.  My gratitude runs deep for you.

Again, I hope you find usefulness in this new forum.
