This is a tough one. I'm trying to be grateful for dialysis. Yesterday my husband's clinic really screwed up and he lost a lot of blood, so much so that he passed out right in the clinic and nurses had to swarm him and try to get him conscious. He doesn't make blood like the rest of us, his kidneys are dead so they can't produce the blood. They will have to give him special blood boosting meds to get his bones to try and make loads of blood to compensate or give him a transfusion soon. In the mean time his hemoglobin is probably hovering around 7 and he can't breathe, he's weak and its through no fault of our own. I was really pissed off yesterday, really really mad. When i went to the plasma donation center to do my weekly donation I had a temperature of 100.1 simply due to how "heated" i was, just seethingly angry at the ineptitude of the person responsible. So today, instead of letting my anger ruin my whole day. I've decided to try and be grateful instead. I'm going to be grateful for the opportunity to take my husband to dialysis. No such process has been designed for the liver, or most vital organs. Dialysis exists and because it does, my husband is still with me! He would've died 7 years ago otherwise. I'm so so glad he's still here with me. Things are hard. But I'll take hard over being a widow any day. In the future, when he's no longer here, I'll yearn for the hard times when he was alive. So that's it for today, I'm being grateful that dialysis exists and that my husband is able to maintain.

The leaves are falling so swiftly now,as fall winds blow, and I am so grateful for those wonderful trees whose leaves provided shade and beauty for the last 6 months. What a beautiful farewell as they ready for winter.

Having close family and friends support

This is a duplicate. I'm feeling grateful for my job again today. I'm grateful that I've done this a long time and am confident and knowledgeable in my field. I'm grateful that I can do little things to help others out as they learn. I'm grateful that I am somewhat of an authority in my office and people come to me for help.

A trip out of town

I am grateful for my car. It's a beat up junker that's about to roll over to 400,000 miles here in a few days. It's old and gross inside and makes all sorts of suspicious noises. But it gets me where I need to go. I see people all over town walking to their fast food jobs or getting dropped off at work by a friend or coworker and this morning I am so grateful that I don't need to rely on others just to get to work in the morning. It has good heat in the winter and AC in the summer and just does the basic things that I need. I'm so glad that I have it!

Me sinto grata por ter a oportunidade de me tornar uma profissional, uma mentora de vida no meu tempo. sinto que estou amadurecendo a ideia e me encaminhando naturalmente para essa realidade. Na verdade tenho que agradecer ao Eduardo por me dar esse tempo não me cobrando resultados financeiros.

I'm grateful that I can still see the wonderful colors of autumn as trees and plants prepare for the winter ahead. I smile every time I look out the window at the glorious show and am so glad I can still see it.

getting out of bed more easily

I'm grateful that I can pee. Ok...hear me out. My husband can't, he has ESRD and hasn't been able to produce urine in about 6 years. So h requires dialysis to remove fluid from his body- which sucks. But i don't need that, I have functioning kidneys and every time i have to pee I'm very grateful that my body can do this vital function. All of my body works pretty much the way it's supposed to. With brief asthmatic episodes thrown in the mix. So I'm grateful my organs work, my limbs are in tact, my brain isn't horrifically out of balance, I'm not deficient or broken in any way. Thanks universe.
