Recently, I had the privilege of attending  the graduation of several kinds of  medically related Bachelor’s, Masters, and Doctoral Degree students where the address was given by Cecilia Graham, PT, PhD.

 She quoted Maya Angelou’s song that “Happiness Is Truth”.  Dr. Graham considers that happiness involves the elements of Connection, Awareness, Respect, and Engagement, encoded by the word CARE.   A special comment about awareness is that it can be achieved by looking at the face of the person in front of you;  and about engagement she said that it can be accomplished by getting involved.

I like graduation speeches, and find that they provide food for thought.

We do strive to be happy.
