Gratitudes Aug 11-17, 2019

  1. Sun Aug 11 thru Sat 17: O my, what a week it has been!  Had my laptop at work and so I didn’t post my daily gratitudes.   So here’s a brief list of my gratitudes not arranged by day:
  2. I graduated on Friday and submitted my revised and complete dissertation on Sunday 8/18.  Sounds strange, but that’s what happened.  I am grateful to God and the angels for helping me through this long saga.
  3. I am healthy and didn’t get sick during the 10, 12, and even one 18 hour day.
  4. I was helped by boss and co-workers, and had helpful conversations with old friends and supportive communications from family..
  5. I am learning more about practicing forgiveness and not instantly reacting to situations that I don’t like.
  6. I am grateful to be alive and to have the chance to improve myself and have a better life.
  7. I am grateful to be finished with the university chapter and I look forward to the next chapter of my life.
  8. I have my challenges, including finding a job.  However, even with my challenges I consider myself blessed.
