Wow, I am incredibly appreciative to have the support and assistance of my classmate Maria. I am taking an Financial Decision Making course and its a challenging one. She is an accounting major and is quite familiar with the material and terminology (in which I am not). She has been a dear and oh so patient with me. I am grateful for her.

Who comes to your aid when you need it most?

I was feeling a bit overwhelmed today as I have fallen a bit behind in my school work. Luckily, I am encouraging myself to give myself breaks and not be so hard on myself when I don’t meet a deadline. Today was one of those days in which I wasn’t able to meet a deadline and therefore felt guilty about it. I immediately let it go and encouraged myself to try and submit tomorrow. What growth for me and am grateful for the changes I have tried to make for myself.

How are you taking care of yourself?

And……we’re back! Back at work, back into the swing of things, and back into life as we know it. Am SO grateful for teammates who are so supportive and encouraging. I appreciate all of you!

Who in your life are you grateful for?

Wow, did I ever need a day off…..the last 4 days have been amazing in every way but boy am I tired today…..am so grateful to be able to rest, relax, and have very little responsibilities today!

How were you grateful for your Monday?

Am grateful for ongoing sources of motivation. And another track milestone gained.

Day 3 of colloquia and cannot express how much I appreciate these three! Thank you for making this dissertation journey encouraging, supportive, humorous, and much more enjoyable!

It’s been a long, hard, and challenging road but I’m here and I am incredibly grateful! I’m thoroughly enjoying time with classmates, learning a ton, more confident than ever, creating solid plans, and am toying with the opportunity to finish early. SO grateful!

It;s the smallest victories some days…..I traveled today and am grateful that the only thing that was not so lucky to have made it in one piece was this little guy…..

Today was the garage sale prep day and was blessed to have received some hand me downs from others. As simple as it is, I am grateful for the opportunity to give to others (through a Goodwill donation) and to have received some fabulous items from others. Love these kinds of events.

What brought you gratitude today?

It’s been awhile since my last music post…..love this one too! I hope you do too!
