Thankfulness Letter Game

So, there have been times (namely, on my mission, and when sharing a room with my sister Rachel for a few days) that I have engaged in what I like to consider 'the alphabet gratitude game'. I may have played it last year for a blogpost. I don't remember and I'm not going to check until after this is posted. Anyway...it consists of picking a category (or not) and writing things I'm grateful for for each letter of the alphabet. I figure that perhaps I'll pick a few categories and do a few lists this Thanksgiving week in an attempt to attain and maintain an attitude of gratitude. So, for this post I will focus on some of the things I am grateful for that relate to my graduate program.
