| | First of all, I want to thank God for all the blessings he has put in my life, and honor Him as the ultimate one in control.
Secondly, I acknowledge and thank my father specifically for allowing me the financial freedom from academic debt to travel and work as I do. I know that there is no way that I could have done anything in the past year without my dad's sacrifices to ensure his children will not have to pay back school loans after graduation.
Thirdly, having expressed appreciation for my father's money, I want to thank God again for honoring me with the full scholarship that put me through graduate school and took that burden away from him (especially having chosen an out-of-state university both times).
Fourthly, during this national economic meltdown, I thank God again for leading me into such a career that is inherently safeguarded from fears of unemployment, as well as one which allows me to take time off whenever I feel like it to travel.
Fifthly, but not at all lastly, I thank all the great people I have met over the years. I recently realized that because I meet so many people all the time, everywhere, I am lucky to be able to pick and choose my favorites with whom to keep in touch. That means my circle of friends are the best of the best, so if you are reading this, that means you are among the best.  Note that there are certainly people I don't even attempt to contact because they are not worth it, but there are many others I simply forget to reply to or re-initiate contact. New things and new people crop up to vie for my limited attention, and the old ingrained procrastination habit sticks to me like ink on paper. So if you have not heard from me for a while, don't be offended. I still love and respect you as someone who has made an impact on my life, whether you know it or not.
Thank you!
