Grateful to A for listening and me while I discussed a tricky friend situation with him. A was supportive and encouraging as I described to him the situation and how I was thinking of resolving it. And, he gave me some caring, thoughtful advice.
I feel more comfortable attempting to resolve and reconcile this friendship.

I was teasing my stepdaughter about where the two of us learned to foreground and prioritize seemingly intractable ambiguities when it dawned on me that so much of the most meaningful and best executed parts of my life’s work were directly inspired by a required humanities course I failed twice at a college I flunked out of twice.
I suddenly saw the power to absorb what’s important even while ostensibly failing. And for that I’m truly grateful.

I am grateful for my access to a COVID safe pool and a swim buddy so that I can practice my aquatherapy.
I am grateful for the abundance of valuable information now available on-line ... specifically yesterday with the focus on nutrition.

I enjoyed jogging in the cool morning air. It is great place to recenter and be ready for life. I am thankful for an online church service I joined after the jog on joy and acceptance and accepting the bad with the really good.
It keeps me centered

I bought OTC COVID rapid test kits for 2 grandchildren home from college so they could be tested before going to grandma's house for Christmas Party. My mom was very thankful. She was afraid to ask and I assured her it was no problem and the grandkids thought it was a good idea.
I felt like I was doing the right thing.

Hannah hat mich zum Geburtstag eingeladen. Kurz bevor der Abend losging, hatte ich Angst, dass es langweilig und schrecklich wird. Dass einige Personen da sind, die ich nicht kenne. Als ich dann da war, waren wir zu fünft. Es war am Anfang oft unangenehme Stille, finde ich. Dann kamen sogar noch 2 Personen, die ich nicht kannte: Simon und Sandra. Hannah ihr Dad kam dann auch noch irgendwann. Er hatte Witz rausgehaut, warum Jo und ich sein Bier nehmen. Wir wussten beide nicht, was wir antworten sollten und haben nichts gesagt. Haben uns beide in Grund und Boden geschämt. Ich wollte einfach nur wieder heim. Nach einer gewissen Zeit wurde die Situation entspannter, es wurde echt viel gelacht und es war wirklich amüsant mit den anderen. Da Jonsi war komplett hacke und Bekki hab ich auch nach ner Weile wieder gesehen. Am Ende war es doch ein sehr schöner Abend trotz gewisser Schwierigkeiten und unangenehmen Gefühlen. Es tat gut, rauszugehen und etwas zu unternehmen und über seinen Schatten zu springen! Dafür bin ich dir sehr dankbar, Hannah!
Ohne sie hätte ich einfach Minecraft weitergezockt und meine Sucht befriedigt. Ohne sie hätte ich nicht den richtigen Schubser bekommen, Minecraft weniger zu zocken und das *echte* Leben wieder mehr zu genießen! Ohne sie hätte ich zwei tolle Personen (Simon und Sandra) nicht kennengelernt. Ich hätte weniger Freude und Spaß erlebt! Ich verzeihe mir für die Peinlichkeiten, die passiert sind. Das ist vollkommen in Ordnung!

Due to emerging personal circumstances I have to give up a project I love and it’s highly likely I’ll never get to do another one. A young colleague, bless their heart, is walking me through the leaving-and-grieving process.
I get to make a personal if painful evolution and not just run away screaming like holy hell.

Grateful to listen to the sound of rain fall last night as I fell asleep. I still hope and pray for this rain to quench our parched land.
I was soothed into a peaceful sleep by the sound.

I ordered a palliative care consult for a younger patient this week. Although the attending thought it was a little harsh, it was the right thing to do. It reinforced my belief that the right action isn't always the easy, feel good one. She needed to hear how her self destructive behaviors are slowly killing her and hurting the people around her that she loves. The situation also sparked a conversation with my favorite hospice nurse.
talking to her put me back in touch with all of the reasons I became a nurse. It was so good to know there are some really amazing nurses out there who are willing to have the tough conversations with patients and help the team clarify goals of care.

Today I was grateful for the extra help I got on my math final because without that I don't think I would have done well at all on the final.
this benefited me because it means my grades will be better and it makes me feel good about myself.

I finished my DNP in June. When asked at a recent nurse meeting what my project was on I let them know Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction for school nurses. I was asked to present this information at a future nurse meetings. That made me feel grateful!
It made me feel appreciated and noticed.
