What Are You Thankful For?

getting a request to speak at a statewide conference for youth with disabilities

i've been wanting to get involved with this conference for awhile but due to schedule conflicts i can't volunteer this year (maybe next year). but i will be able to do a workshop one day

yay for finding ways around scheduling conflicts!

i'm grateful for this site, and for supportive friends. i'm grateful to have people to turn to when things are hard.

i'm grateful for activities that get my mind off of things. like gaming (which i'm doing tonight, yay).

I am thankful for being myself, loving myself enough to know that I am worth it and just being happy for once in my life

I am thankful I got through a days worth of traffic without getting run over.
I am thankful for the people who tell me they love and care about me, even though they may not be in my life so much anymore.
I am thankful to be able to keep moving forward.

Gramma D, what she means to me and the time we have shared together on this earth. She has saved me in body, mind and spirit. She's been my sanity and my guide.

We talked today of the things we took for granted and the choices we've made that "lead us where we are today". Although I didn't like to make the choice to move North to find a job years ago (to move away from the only home I've ever known and the only true family that loved me unconditionally), I am thankful I did because it gave me the starting point of my career in health care. I am thankful she stood beside me and supported me with the decisions and difficult choices I had to make. She understood why I had to do what I did.

She has always been there for me.... Even with all the bad stuff I faced after moving North, I am thankful I had those life experiences and many opportunities.

And today.... with only a week left in a miserable job... I am thankful that my life and career experience, common sense, intense drive to be a Leader and child health Champion, and my internal-encyclopedia of health care administration knowledge has lead me to another great career opportunity and the possibilities it holds. I'm not happy about staying in health care... but I am thankful.

This is where my life has lead me and I am thankful for those that stood beside me, even during the hard times and times I nearly lost my sanity.
