This is my final post for this blog. Looking back the past couple months have really opened my eyes on what I was grateful for, I experienced the loss of a family pet, gained a new relationship with my husband and kids. Also, spoke more with my mom and brother whom I haven't spoken to or seen in quite some time. I think that before this class I was always grateful when someone would help me out. But I didn't realize that it goes a lot further than that. being grateful ties in with how you feel but also how you make others feel. It shows how much you care and how much you love one another. I think moving forward I will look at things in a different way and be more grateful for the things that I have in life now and in my future.
Today I am grateful that my mother called and wanted to talk with me and my kids and catch up. It is very rare that she does this so it was nice to actually talk to someone that was not one of my kids.
Today I am grateful that my nephew on my husbands side is graduating high school. He has struggled a lot with growing up and I think that he has a good future ahead of him. Pleased to say that he chose to go to college in the Fall rather than waiting to go to school and make something with his life.
Today I am grateful that I was able to get a day off from work, it allowed me to catch up on house chores that I noticed were not being done. Being in a clean house is a refreshing feeling.
Today I am grateful for the job that I have and my manager. Working in healthcare can be mentally draining for health professionals. And if it wasn't for a good manager that was understanding of me needing a break today than I would have been a complete mess. My job isn't always the easiest and I enjoy seeing my co-workers and patients but sometimes a break is needed, and that is what I got today.
I talked about paying it forward in one of my essays, and today someone actually did that for me at the coffee stand. It has never happened to me before so I was pretty happy. I also kept it going by paying for the car behind me.
Today I am grateful that my kids got up on time for school without me having to keep telling them to get up. They got to school on time and I didn't feel rushed getting to work. Happy Monday!!
