I get asked that question a lot when I'm in Scottsdale, especially in relation to my travel. In case you don't know, I'm in Scottsdale once or twice a month traveling from Sarasota, Fla. And it's worth it. Allow me to explain.

First, I get the opportunity to be with close friends. Through CEREC, I've made friendships not just in the U.S., but across the world as well. Second, I get to help others use the CEREC technology better. It's really nice when participants are back for another course and tell us how much more successful they are now utilizing the technology.

This has me thinking ... how can I show more gratitude for what others do for me? I know how I feel when others show me gratitude; why not share that same sentiment with others?

What about you - why do you do what you do? What opportunities do you have to share gratitude with others? Maybe it's time to explore these questions. Enjoy!
