Thankfulness

After my last depressing post, (which I have since deleted) I must respond in a more positive note. There are lots of things I am thankful for this year, as always.  I just need to remind myself of them, and get the positive notes flowing.  Spread more "Good Karma", instead of dwelling on the negative.  It is easy to get sucked in to the downward spiral.  I chose to be a nurse, and for the time being, a night nurse.  I just need to remind myself of what I have to be Thankful for.  I am thankful that I have a job. I get positive feedback from my patients.  I am thankful for friends that share their life with me, no matter if it is from a distance, and for my family, who are always there if I only reach out to them.  I am thankful for the beautiful and intricate world that God shares with me whenever I take a walk and drink it in.  I am thankful for the chance to share my life with my patients, and hope that they are nurtured by my caring.  I am thankful for the companionship my dog offers me, and hope that his life is a little easier because of our relationship.  I am thankful for a wonderful daughter and grandson, and for Rob, who all give me love and caring and nourishment. I am thankful for a life partner who accepts me for what I am but who pushes me to become more.  I am thankful for my health, and the blossoming ability to know when I need to change things, and when to learn to look around me and accept things the way they are.
