"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I thought today would be a good day to think about what I am grateful for. Usually Thanksgiving is such a social holiday, but spending some time just thinking about being grateful seems like more of a solitary activity to me.
Things I'm grateful for:
1) Being in college right now... it's given me the chance to feel like I can gain job skills, and market myself as a desirable employee.
2) Living in Santa Barbara, a gorgeous place where I have an ocean view from pretty much anywhere on campus.
3) Having mentors who believe in me, like my bosses, the career center, and hopefully next semester Tina Kistler via her leadership class.
4) Feeling old enough to believe in myself and not let others negative opinions of me or my actions hold much wait. Basically, I had people be critical of me for returning to school and not working full time, but it's my life, and it's working for me!
5) My friends and my boyfriend :D
