Thank You Notes

Thank You Notes

I'm an anesthesiologist from Texas, who has been writing Thank You Notes his whole life. I feel like I'm pretty good at writing them, and it's always been something I enjoy. There are plenty of people for whom I’m grateful, but I never took the time to thank them properly. I will be inviting them to come on the show to be thanked by me, and read their own thank you note to someone or something they feel deserves a public display of gratitude. I will also be looking into the science of gratitude itself, and the ways it can benefit your health and well-being, Interact with the show through email, and social media. Send me a Thank You Note (addressed to me or anyone) and I might feature it on a future episode. Thanks for listening
