I am thankful for the amazing educational assistant that I work with. I have one very challenging class and she is so awesome with them - it is night and day with them when she is there compared to when she is not. I am thankful for her awesomeness.
I'm going to be a little material here - but I'm thankful for my home. DH and I were talking about it yesterday. It symbolizes so much to us; how far we've come, how far we have grown and our financial stability. Most of all, I love how this place finally feels like home. I think they say "Where there is love in your heart, there is joy in your home". Perhaps it is the happiness we have reached as to why it is so symbolic to us. We've been living here a year after we moved north 3.5 hours. I'm appreciative everyday for how far we have come.
I'm thankful to be able to bitch about my medicine That I'm on. I'm thankful my reaction only amounted to a nasty rash, but not anything worse. And for my husband who helped assess that situation because I get foggy during a reaction and he steps up and gets shit done.
I'm thankful for finally having a caring, nice, flexable boss that really cares that his employees learn from him, and that his wife is a fantastic professor that really cares about us as students.
I am grateful for the teacher across the hall. This week has been so hard and I am really sick, but everyday she comes in and lets me vent and gives me advice. She is super supportive and I don't know how I would have survived this year without her.
I'm thankful for a job that I enjoy that is super flexible, and a very understanding boss who trusts us all to do our jobs even if we aren't there for 8 hours a day.
With a cough like this I'm thankful for a full nights sleep. I'm also thankful for the new church my family will be checking out this Sunday! Oh and I'm also thankful it's almost the weekend
I'm thankful for this thread again. (Seriously, I really, really enjoy seeing this side of you ladies and getting to know you a little better this way.)
Today, I'm thankful for the food in our fridge and the fact that any hunger I feel is always temporary and mild. I'm thankful for organizations that fight hunger around the world and invite me to join in their efforts.
I'm thankful for my dog and cat who are unconditionally loving and affectionate through the best and worst of times. Seeing how much they love me reminds me that I should love myself a little more.
I'm thankful that DH and I are going to be able to manage to buy a new car for him and pay off his massively underwater current car. His divorce ruined his credit (mostly bc the ex stopped paying his car payment and mortgage and squirreling the money away in her own secret bank account - what a peach!) and when he had to buy a new car in 2012 the only credit he could get was at 24% interest (what?!?) so he pays an outrageous amount each month and still owes about what he borrowed. The car has obviously depreciated, so he has so much negative equity in it it's crazy. But we're doing a joint loan and working with my credit union and it looks like we'll be able to get a new car at 3% interest - what a relief to not just be throwing money away each month to an unscrupulous (as it, had to enter a civil settlement with the DOJ for fraudulent practices last year) loan shark!!
My husband came home this morning and told me that he got picked to move to weekends at his work. We have been waiting for this for since like November. He thought he had it about a month ago but it turned out they weren't willing to work it out for him at that time. He really didn't think they were going to this time either. He has to train someone for his position and then in about two weeks he will get to go to weekends.
I am so so so so thankful for this. We are on opposite schedules right now and we barely see each other. Plus I have been working almost every weekend because there is a nurse with a broken foot that I have been covering for. I cannot wait to have dinner with my husband every night and then actually go to sleep with him at night. I have had a really long and stressful last couple of years as far as work and my schedule has gone and I just really hope all of this means that things are going to start looking better for me.
I'm so thankful my Frasier kitty seems to have recovered from another short spell of feeling bad. Every since he got very sick a few months ago, he has had these spells about 2-3 times now where he just crawls away and hides, doesn't eat, doesn't purr, doesn't respond, and it freaks me out every time because he is normally glued to my side and very affectionate and involved in what we are doing.
Anyway, I went to bed so worried and kept waking up and when I woke up at 4 am, he was asleep on my side and I was so relieved and grateful this morning he seemed 100% back to normal!

I am thankful that this week DH spoke to his boss about moving within the company to another city, the pay wasnt worth it, but the boss offered DH the responsibilities and a pay increase for him here! I am thankful for my new phone. I spent 10 years with a BB and have just graduated to an iphone! I got it yesterday and have been giggling ever since.
I am thankful I got kitty cuddles this morning, which is very rare as she normally stays downstairs, but she knew the dogs were outside and came up to hang out. I even took a picture (with my new iphone)

I am thankful for my sister. No matter what she is always supportive and understanding. I'm so lucky to have her as my best friend.
I am also thankful for the opportunity to keep my nephew everyday while my sister works. I've loved watching him grow and develop into such a little boy. He will be 1 in TWO weeks!!
I'm thankful for my job. I never imagined that I would be in a position that allows me so much freedom/flexibility at my age. This might be my forever career, and I'm happy about that!

I'm thankful for our wonderful neighbors that came to help us push DH's car out of the snow last night. They must have seen the two of us trying to dig it out and both father and son came running out and we had the car freed in no time.
I'm also thankful for coffee. Massive amounts of coffee.
I'm thankful for the maintenance guy at work who takes the time to shovel out the side entrance (that only I use), turns up my heat for me so my ice box of an office isn't frigid when I get in, and makes sure the staff always has a fresh pot of coffee waiting when we get here. You're the best!

geez thats nice, does he have a crush on you or something?
I also want to add I'm super thankful that because we dont have a remote car starter, every morning DH goes out and turns the car on, with seat warmers so that my butt is toasty when we get in. Also he's super hot.

Haha! I hope not, he's old enough to be my dad and is married with kids my own age. Actually, I went to school with his daughter. He's generally a nice guy to everyone, I probably just notice the stuff he does that relates to me. I bring my own coffee but I know the clerks appreciate it when they come in!
and woohoo for seat warmers. I've never had a vehicle with seat warmers!!
Late loss and living child mentioned (happy ending)...
A girl I went to high school with lost a baby at 8 months a couple years ago. After struggling to get pregnant again, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl last night!!! I'm so excited for her!!
I am thankful I made it to work today in the snow with no problems. My DH for helping me clean off the car and letting me use his car since it is better in the snow. DH has been working 12pm-12am since the first snowstorm so I am thankful for all of the overtime even though I barely see him and DD misses him.
It's been a tough week at work so I'm thankful that I decided to take a mental health day tomorrow and I'll be able to spend the day with DH. Looking forward to going out to dinner and a movie with my love and being able to relax a bit!
I am thankful that I made it to zumba class last night. I've been wanting to go for awhile now but the darn class starts early and I never make it on time.
I have 2 potty trained boys! It has been 3 days since their last accident! I'm over the moon excited! The only thing is, they are now waking up many times through out the night wanting to use the potty, and I didn't expect them to night train that quick!

I'm honestly thankful I can afford healthy food and have time to work out. I've been making green smoothies every day to get more fruits & veggies in my life and started yoga again, and I feel so much better. I know it's a luxury.
I'm also thankful for baby animals. Googling them always improves my day.
I'm thankful for the job offer I just received and accepted. I'll be moving from ICU to a children's PACU and the hours will be so much better and the stress will be less. I'll miss my job but the environment with the staff is toxic right now and I need something better. So this will be a new adventure with much less stress!!
