"I'm Grateful"

There's always a student that stops by every department and just drops by to say "hi, how are you doing?"

When people ask me that question, I often say: "I'm surviving" or "I'm okay". Those are my two go-to statements.

Every time someone asks this person how he's doing, he responds: "I'm grateful."

Hearing a comment like that makes me smile. This reminds me that my perspective needs to change.
