100 things I'm Thankful for....
(just to name a few...and in no particular order...)

8. My job. (I have great benefits. I’ve had the ability to take time off work… even as a “new” employee… to tend to health and family priorities. I have kind, intelligent, “motherly” managers that have given me the encouragement I desperately needed after my last position.)
