Gratitude: April 2016

April was an interesting month with lots going on -- ups and downs: the job search, a lot of interviews, my first FET, my first job offer (YAY)! As always, when I focus on my Gratitude project it has helped me make it through some of the low times.

Here are a few of the things that I was grateful for in April:
