Thankful Thursday - on Wednesday

I was being crabby tonight so I decided I'd better do Thankful Thursday early. Here's what I'm thankful for today.....

- The fact that I didn't leave my office until 7:45 tonight. At first I was grumpy about it, but reminded myself that it's better to be busy than bored - and maybe it's good job security to always have SO MUCH to get done.

- The physician that literally chewed me out today on the phone. He reminded me that going to school doesn't make you smart - it only makes you educated. I am also thankful for him because he gave me an opportunity to practice my new commitment to "have patience with stupid people". And for the record, his "emergency" was not my problem; I didn't cause it, nor could I solve it....but I must have sounded like I really cared because he went ON AND ON....

- The rice krispy treats I made for my dinner. Nutritious and delicious.

- My parents totally bailed me out on something ridiculous today and made my life a lot easier. I called to tell them about an issue I was having and within an hour, they came to my house and brought a replacement of the item I needed. Sometimes I think I should grow up and stop relying on them so much - and then I remember how much I appreciate their help and simply accept it.

- Good friends who check on me. Thanks especially to those who have called/emailed/texted in the past week. Your support was invaluable.
