-Gratified-

So now that I am back in the slum of school work and stressing over patients, I decided that I needed a little encouragement to get me going. The first thing that came to my mind was memories of my incredible summer and that is when it hit me- I have absolutely nothing to complain about. I am completely gratified with my life right now and this is why....

I was able to spend time with my family and enjoy the beauty of this awesome earth!

I took an amazing journey across the Pacific ocean to the Philippines where family and friends greeted us and allowed us to enjoy and fall in love with what they call Home.

I took on new challenges and my feet experienced the largest blisters they will probably ever experience...but wow-what a journey! :)

I reunited with family from all over the world as we held the FIRST Anopol Family Reunion

I spent every last second available with this incredibly handsome guy!

As for now...? I am lucky enough to be healthy and to have the opportunity to finish my studies in something that I have been working for since I was 16 years old.

Like I said....I am completely gratified!
