Gratitude

I had another rough day at work yesterday feeling overwhelmed by everything and following up on doctor stuff. At the end of the day I finally rallied. I think talking to my boss about some of the planning steps I am taking and helping him to think how to get through this from a work/coverage prespective really help.

Last night I emailed some questions to the surgeon that I didn't get a chance to ask last Wednesday. As much as I didn't want to send that email I am glad I did. Now to get the answers - that scares me to - but needing to know and becoming more knowledgeable about the process and its variables will out weigh any fear and ultimately be a help to me in calming bigger fears.

So after this rough work day I went home and did my homework for a small group I am in - it is about gratitude. One of the exercises asked to list 25 things I am grateful for so here goes.
