being thankful.

as promised, my thankful blog.

mmm. right now, I feel incredibly thankful. this thanksgiving, I worked, with two great nurses, and seven patients. It felt like a weekend day, which is always wonderful. the people we're really nice; good day at work. :] can't help but be thankful.
which leads to [obviously], what I'm really really thankful for. when I think thankful, I think blessed, priveledged -- where grace was poured and I didn't deserve it, and even more so, that I realized grace was being given to me. even though the true definition of thankful is more like appreciative -- this is how it makes me feel.

the number one thing that I am thankful for is the life I have been allowed to lead. that God has given to me, and as I seek Him, I see more things clearer.

I am thankful for every part of this year, even though there was so much life, so many things I never thought would subside, things that made me swing from one end to the other.
