attitude of gratitude

I have been ranting quite a bit lately because of the perceived slights from My U. While I still believe in my perceptions I am reminding myself that I fully believe in taking a positive outlook. So, some focus on the many reasons I have for gratitude seems to be in order

I am grateful to My U for accepting me into the PhD program. I am grateful for the wonderful folks I met that were a part of my cohort.

I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and to teach. I have grown from the classes I took and the classes I taught.

I am grateful for the support of family and friends - the love, the encouragement, and yes, even the nagging that helped me get through the entire process and to come out with a "terminal degree" without it being the death of me.

More gratitude yet to come.
