Birds, Booze, and Besties: Gratitude for All!
Sometimes we get a little stressed. No apologies—we’re workaholic perfectionists determined to keep our status as the lab supplier that loves you back, and that takes quite a bit of elbow grease. Thankfully, we know how to play just as hard as we work. We also know one big little secret that helps keep even the most harried Type As mentally healthy: gratitude.
We believe gratitude should be a year-round celebration of thanks, not reserved just for Thanksgiving. Did you know that people who practice gratitude enjoy statistically longer, healthier lives and higher levels of happiness than those who do not? Counting your blessings also reduces your stress level and improves your sleep. Some studies claim it can even make you smarter! And the best part is that you don’t have to buy a fancy journal or make a big speech to the ones you love. In fact, it’s the smallest gestures and thoughts that often mean the most.
Agapi makes gratitude a daily practice in a thousand tiny ways, and we hope you feel the love because above all else, we are grateful for you. Yes, YOU! We’re blessed with amazing current customers, potential customers, partners, and friends. We’re grateful for our well-wishers who give us the confidence to do anything; we’re even thankful for our naysayers who accidentally push us to greater heights of success. We’re grateful for every person who acts as a link in the chain of our lives.
More than anyone, we understand the number of people along that chain. We see it every day in the products we help create. A quality beer, wine, or soft drink passes through hundreds—often thousands—of people before arriving in our Thanksgiving glass. We take it for granted that our favorite brands will be consistently good, but the truth is it’s a miracle they are—and that miracle is science. That miracle is, in fact, you.
As we dig into our turkey this year, we’ll be hoisting Moss Mills’ Cut, Copy, Paste – a saison, brewed with cinnamon and cherries – in thanks for everything and everyone in our lives. We’ll be thinking of all the hard-working people who made our feast possible, all the incredible companies making our business possible, and all of the amazing people making our beautiful, messy, perfectly imperfect lives awesome. Thank you!
Cheers!
