        Hi I am Angelique Martin 54 yr old WTAMU Senior and AARP member since 2018 from Amarillo Texas. I am 5 classes away from my Bachelor's Degree and I am so grateful I was able to go back to school but unfortunately I will not be able to graduate as planned on December 13, 2022. I had transportation and Technology issues which hindered me from using the school's computer lab and tutoring services. I tried to find help through the school but this is almost the end of fall semester and I am behind without reliable transportation, I have no chance to make up the missed assignments and exams. I am so close to completion but was unable to obtain the resources needed to succeed but none less I am still grateful I got to come this far but now my dream is shattered and I will not earn my BAAS in Business Law and Ethics.

        Our family is all coming for Thanksgiving and our youngest daughter will be hosting a her home this year. Weather is looking better than it has been for a while. 

        Hoping everyone is  doing well and has your holiday plans set.

        Having a gratitude practice has completely changed my outlook. I mean, I’m still salty as a sea captain at times…

        …but practicing gratitude has allowed me to be so much more resilient than I once was!

        When something negative comes my way, I bounce back way faster than before.

        And, ya, it feels like there is a lot to be negative and salty about rn!

        But having some kind of gratitude practice where you notice what’s making you happy is an exercise in making your life exponentially better.

        Here’s a quick gratitude practice I do that doesn’t require much time or a gratitude journal:

         Sit quietly and focus your attention on your breath.

         With each inhale, notice something you’re grateful for.

         With each exhale, say thank you to that specific thing.

        Do this for a certain amount of time or a set number of breaths.

        Piece of cake.

        What I really love about this is that you can say “thank you” for the good stuff when it comes up.

        And the more you look for things to be grateful for, the more you have to be grateful for. So it’s pretty much a no-lose situation.

          A simple but very often overlooked question. Ive been thinking of that with Thanksgiving coming,not necessarily what and who I'm thankful for,but more have I made the people in my thoughts aware of how grateful I am. I've led a glorious life for the most part,some bumps and potholes,but who doesn't have to endure those. I'm thankful for all that I have been blessed with,and as importantly I'm thankful for the strength I've found to live without what I don't have.Alot of the people I love are gone now,and not a day goes by that I don't remember them and cherish the time they spent with me,the memories we made together,and the love of life we shared. Who could ask for more.
