now where did i leave off?

Ah yes, at #14. Crap, that's a lot of days of thankfulness to have missed! Oops...but that's typical :)

15. Technology. It allows me to keep in touch with family and friends who are far away, even though I might not always do a good job of doing so.
16. My comfy bed to snuggle into after a long day at work.
17. Little acts of kindness. With everything going on in the world, and the hate that seems so widespread, it's comforting to see people taking a little bit of time to change that.
18. Our troops. While I cannot, and do not, support the wars, there are no words that express the gratitude I have for the women and men in uniform who risk their lives, especially my dear friend Kelsey and my Uncle Bret.
19. This is going to sound really silly, but Employee Health. I've had 2 work-related injuries, and I'm very glad that there are people who are there to take care of me and my clumsiness :)
20. Delivery. Sometimes you just don't feel like cooking!
21. Moments of brevity. Healthcare can be a real downer, with constant exposure to sad situations. Whether it's my coworkers, family, friends, or even the patients, it's always nice to share a laugh.
22. Milwaukee. I'm discovering more of this fabulous city. Seriously underrated!
23. Clean water and living conditions. Do you realize how lucky we are to live in a country where we don't have to worry about water-borne illnesses and the like? Cholera is unheard of in the USA, yet only several hundred miles away in Haiti, it runs rampant.
24. Holiday lights. The sparkle and anticipation of the holiday season makes me giddy!
25. Reese's peanut butter cups. A wonderful confectionery creation!

peace and love,
m
