I am a student nurse and I am thankful for my family who support me when I have good days and bad days and remind me that I can do this and do it well.

I am also so thankful for the people in my class. They are a fabulous bunch, each one of them, and I am grateful that we always have each others backs, and how I am happy to see each of their faces in class and clinical!!!

And lastly I am thankful for my instructors and the nurses and CA's on my clinical floor. Each of them is patient and kind even and have made class and clinical a great positive experience.

I'm so thankful for my family and their good health. God of course w/out his nothing would be possible. A home to live in. A job, so many don't have one. Food in my belly, many don't have that. Clothes on my back. Money in my bank account.

I got this in an E-Mail and I thought it was wonderful so I'd like to share. :heartbeat

I am thankful for the wife

who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me and

not out with someone else.

For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.

For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because it means she is at home, not on the streets.

For the taxes I pay because it means I am employed.

For the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.

For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.

For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.

For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.

For all the complaining I hear about the government

because it means we have freedom of speech.

For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.

For my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.

For the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means. I can hear.

For the pile of laundry and ironing

because it means I have clothes to wear.

For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.

For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive.

Haldol & Geodon ;)

But personally, I am still bowled over by the fact that I have three little boys who love me and who always have something new that they want to share...

I am thankful that I've had the chance to go back to school instead of being stuck at home on disability for the rest of my days. It's been a long and sometimes difficult process, but the end result will be worth all the crazy days and sleepless nights. I'm also immensely thankful for the support I've received from the Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation. School simply would not have been possible for me without BVR's assistance.
