Thankful for????

[Just Plain Ruff]

We had a post about what we hated about our job and it was a depressing thread so let's liven it up a little.

What are you thankful for in your job? In your life?

It can be anything that you are thankful for.

I'll start

I'm thankful that I have a job that I really like and it allows me to travel to various parts of the country. I am thankful that my wife and son can come with me anytime I want them to, to visit me and the city I'm currently in.

I'm also thankful for my wife and son.

I'm thankful for a career that I enjoy. Yes I gripe alot, really just blowing off steam.

I am thankful to be a part of hopefully helping make positive changes that will help make EMS a true profession that will attract quality people.

I am also thankful that that I am able to get people to start thinking out of their box no matter how uncomfortable it makes them.

I am thankful for the ability to interact with a wide variety of people. I'm thankful for the things my patients, and clients, teach me every time that I am around them.

I'm thankful for everything that I am able to do for my patients, even if it is only a simple word or gesture.

I'm thankful for a loving significant other who takes care of me and does everything he possibly can to make me happy.

I am thankful for so much, that if I were to continue, this post would never end.
