This has been a tough year in a lot of ways. We were stressed and worried and exhausted and frustrated for many different reasons... but still, I have a lot for which to be thankful.

  • My intact and functional body that pretty much works exactly like it's supposed to - unlike so many of my patients' bodies.
  • My mental health, which permits me to function in the same world as everyone else and doesn't cause me to see and hear things that aren't there.
  • My wonderful smart talented silly hard-headed husband, who has made the best of a very difficult year of unemployment.
  • The job that my wonderful etc. husband landed after that year!
  • My job, along with the wonderful coworkers and friends I have there. My job would be unbearable without them.
  • My other job, where I go do temp work at other hospitals and they pay me lots of money. It's stresseful to work more than full-time between the 2 jobs, but I am so thankful that I have the option available to earn more money for my family.
  • My lovely funny parents and their continued generosity and encouragement in our adventures of home-owning.
  • Our good friends who have made us laugh and offered hugs and wine and dinner dates when they were really needed.
  • Our fantastic house that makes us happy on a daily basis.
  • Our trainer who is slowly but surely kicking our butts into shape and continues her positive attitude and encouragement no matter how much we whine.

    Mostly I am grateful that our lives are so ordinary. I know that may sound silly but I see so many people whose lives are extraordinary in some awful way - being normal and boring seems like a gift in comparison.

    I hope your Thanksgiving was warm and filled with love.
