Secondly, I'm giving in to peer pressure and pride, so I'm posting on Facebook again. What can I say? I guess I am like every other human and enjoy the attention.
Thirdly, Thanksgiving was yesterday so I'm going to do the traditional "what am I thankful for" post.
I'll try to keep it short enough to be readable.
I'm thankful for:
-My fantastic family that lets me come back whenever I need an extra hug or have a few days off. Even though I'm living on my own, they don't make me feel like I have to stay far away. I'm so grateful for the support, the delicious meals, the laughter, the company, and the love that they show me all the time.
-My job. I spent a lot of time this summer worrying about where I would work, but I ended up getting a great job at a great hospital. I am so thankful and even when things are stressful, I hope I can remember how privileged I am.
- My cozy condo. I am so thankful that I don't have to commute back to Indiana after a 12 hour night shift. It's kind of fun making a place your own, and I don't want to take it for granted that I have a safe, warm place to live.
-My friends who I can talk to at anytime. If we're still friends after years of not living close to each other, I am pretty confident that we'll be friends for life.
- Sleep. Don't take it for granted my friends. Working nights can really throw you off of your schedule, and I have learned to appreciate sleep even more than I did in college- and that's saying something.
-My Impact group. This is the group of sophomore girls that I have had the privilege of working with at my church for the past year and a half. They have taught me a lot and I love them so much.
-My roommate. I took a risk by signing my lease to my condo before I had a roommate. I posted on my college's message board and found a Christian girl who was willing to live with me.
-My patients. Getting to care for people when they are at a vulnerable place in their lives is a beautiful opportunity. Sometimes they drive me a little nuts, but I love these people.
-The wedding I was in last week. My friend from high school got married last Saturday and it was so fun to be a part of her special day.
- My car. The day she dies will be a sad sad day indeed.
-My coworkers. I am officially finished with orientation, so now I'm on my own. I'm so thankful for the people who are willing to answer my questions and help me become more confident. I also just like them. They're fun people who understand the lifestyle I have.
-Aldi's. Gotta love cheap produce!
-My health. I have the ability to run a 10k on Thanksgiving morning without training (even though running on Thanksgiving morning is a terrible idea. Snow and running combined is just horrible). There are patients on my unit who can't even roll over in bed. My heart is in good condition and that's not something everyone has.
-My new smart phone.
-Hot drinks. For the most part I drink coffee before my shift, but I really just like having something warm in my hand as I leave in the cold dark evening.
-Library cards, Netflix, and Spotify
-My amazing God. He has blessed me in a thousand ways. He has been faithful to me and is continually showing me His power and love. If I am looking, I can see him in a thousand little things that happen every day. Working in a hospital also makes that really easy. God is powerful and He is working through me, through my patients, and through the tough circumstances that surround us. I am thankful for everything that He has done for me. Great is His faithfulness.
