			This has been a difficult past few months for me.  Even though I cannot find a job in my field and I received one rejection letter out of the 4 manuscripts I sent to publishers, I still consider myself a very fortunate person.  I still have: 
 
1.  My family who mean everything to me.  They continue to feed and shelter me until I can get on my feet and support my ambitions and decisions.   
 
2. My health, so many people in this world who never get to experience simple things I take for granted. 
 
3. Being alive and getting to experience new things
