It's Thankful Thursday.
I have a thirty minute drive home from work. I drove in silence today. Usually I listen to the radio or make a phone call (I know, I am very careful). As I reflected on the day I was full of joy. Part of it was that it's Thursday and I don't work on Fridays. But there was more. I was thinking about all of the patients I saw today! I have to admit... I LOVE them and I love my job. I love the one on one relationships I have with them. Today was one of those days when I truly enjoyed every single one of them. I also love how I get to use my hands. It's probably difficult for you to understand, but I really do enjoy it. I've been doing this for 23 years and I never dread going to work and the fact that I get paid for it is just a bonus.
I am blessed to work with some amazing girls. I admit, sometimes we feel like sisters and we are definitely family. We have to give each other a lot of grace. We are all very different, but I think we really have a bond and I love all of them in their own way. My boss is also a friend and a great guy to work for.
I learn so much from my patients and consider them friends. I look forward to seeing them every 3 or 6 months. I am surprised when they remember my family and ask how they are doing. We laugh together, cry together and I am so blessed to know them. God is so good to me and He gave me a job that is very rewarding.
I am so Thankful!
In His Grip,

It is such a gift to love your work, and I know you are a gift to your patients. I imagine you are therapist too as you visit with each one, as they see you and feel safe. You are very dear. It is also a gift to know you. My contribution to thankful Thursday...Love, Annie
what a sweet and happy post!!! my job is different than yours, but i know what it's like to love it the way you just described!! i miss my little boy the second i leave his house!! :)
so great that you are blessed to have an awesome 'working family'!!
I think it is great that you love your job and the people you work with and for. It makes so much difference when the people you see for your care actually care for you. Izzy has some therapists that are so much more, they are friends and we love them. I'm sure your patients see you the same way.
What a blessing to have a job that you love so much and one that blesses not only you but the patients you see. I pray my boys will find a job that they will love one day!!
you are such a joy and it makes me smile :)
God bless,
Kim
