Dec. 15th

I can hardly believe it is the middle of December already. 
So yesterday I sort of went off on a tangent.  I started talking about being thankful for my job and then got a little defensive.  I am working on that. 
I am going to go back to the subject of my job though because I didn't really get to the point I was trying to make yesterday.  That happens when I am tired.  So here goes try number 2.
I am grateful for a career that God has blessed me with that I enjoy.  I have seen lots of people go to work every day not liking what they do.  For whatever reason they got into the job they have, whether it was for the money, or lack of education or lack of other job availability.  When I was in high school thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, I knew I had to pick a job that I would like.  My dad is an architect.  He became an architect b/c it was a smarter decision money-wise than being an art teacher.  But it wasn't a wiser decision than being happy.  I knew I would never pick a job just for the money.  Because if you are going to spend thousands of hours of your life doing something you should enjoy doing it. 
I am grateful that I got to this place.  It was hard getting to be a physical therapist.  It is hard right now trying to get an extra certification.  But God helped me and is helping me all the way.  Someday, maybe I will even own a clinic.  I don't know what path He has for me.  But I know to trust Him with it.  And I am truly grateful that He put something on my heart to do that I enjoy.
