- I am grateful that I just received my first interview offer for an MBA program! So, so, so exciting!
- I am grateful for people who write comments on my blog (even the ones that some might consider rude). I like feedback, even the negative kind. Whether in spite of or because of the feedback, I feel like I always become better when I am able to internalize it. Unless it’s just meant to be rude…then I just ignore it!
- I am grateful for my extended family. Tonight, my aunt Kendall made me a really yummy birthday dinner of soup in bread bowls and my mom’s famous cheesecake. My grandmother baked her famous lemon and cinnamon pound cake. Delicious! And my cousin, Maddie, always makes me feel so extraordinary. Tonight, as we sat down to dinner, discussing our lives (well, mainly mine since I was the birthday girl), Maddie wrote down a list of all the reasons she wants to be like me. It was very flattering.
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
