We spend one day a year, grateful for what we have and who we love, and yet seem to forget about that as the year rolls by. So, here is my challenge, perhaps and early New Year's resolution, for myself. I will make a list of 5 things each day that I have to be thankful for. When I post here, I will (try to remember) to add the list as the conclusion of my post. So, here's my start...
1) My family - through 4 very rough pregnancies, we have been blessed with 4 healthy and wonderful children. I have a wonderful husband, whom I hold so near and dear. And for my dad, who has been there through everything.
2) For a job I love - who would have thought I would find comfort and peace in a private Catholic high school, when I was such a proponent of saving the inner-city schools.
3) My health - as ironic as that is to say. As damaged as my brain is, I should not be a functioning adult. Luckily I was not aware of the damage until 26, my brain rewired itself and here I am. In many cases - against all odds, but I am here.
4) MFD - After 2 years of lists, CPATs, oral interviews, written interviews, checking the city's website over and over and over, EMT classes, MFD 7/26/2010, Jeff is a FIRE3FIGHTER. He is happy, I am thankful.
5) My K9s - no matter how bad the day, they are there. You can snap at them and literally a moment later apologize and they forgive you. They are comfort and companionship - even when the rest of my crew is on a mission elsewhere.
