# 15, Wednesday ## Grateful For: Gratitude. Every day without a canker sore is a blessing. Thank God your parents are not physically abusive although they can be problematic about emotions. Always thank God for the privilege that you do have. Thank God you have no extreme life-threatening or economic reason to stay in school. Perhaps being delayed did come with a silver lining. Maybe once out of school the pressure to be laude and get good grades and become competent for a job and be excellent would give way to becoming stagnant after graduation. I should see my situation as an opportunity to develop virtues not tied to vainglory or accolades and money. — Ok I am barely using my Mac’s RAM and it’s still super laggy. Forever frustrated that this is so. It’s a 2015 model and they really planned for this lol. Planned obsolescence to get u to upgrade.
