A Summary

I don't know if I learned this from this little project or not, but I am quite aware of how truly fortunate I am. It's so easy to take things for granted, but there are so many people out there who can't afford their own place, who don't have a job or an education or a car, and who have to rely on other people. I'm really fortunate to have the job I do, and to have been able to obtain a really high quality education. I now have career prospects. True, it may take me some time to make my way into a stable position with a school district. But I have the credentials I need to do so. When that door eventually, inevitably opens, I'm prepared to walk through it. Unless another, better door opens up first. I have so much freedom with the job I have now, yet I still have the earning potential I need to pay my bills. What more can I really ask for. My life situation is pretty dang good, even just from a material standpoint. That's to say nothing of the wonderful people in my life, who deserve their own post. So, yeah, I have an attitude of thankfulness--whether I can credit this little project for it or not, I'm not sure, but I feel proud to be able to see my own fortune. A lot of people can't, and they're less happy for it.
