It’s that time of the week to be grateful for what we have. This week for Thankful Thursday, I had a few positive moments that made me smile. First, one of my clients recently got a job and like in most jobs he was required to pass a drug test and go do his fingerprints. Well, I had to take him to do his fingerprints and everybody who knows my client (including me) was worried he would get upset when they grab his fingers. Surprisingly, he did very well while getting this done. He was calm and mostly excited to see his fingerprint on the laptop in front of him. I was so proud of him I bought him a Snickers! Second, Anthony and I helped his parents paint their house this weekend. It was an eventful six hours of painting for us to run out of paint. That isn’t the positive thing I am highlighting from this event. What I am highlighting is that his mom told him that he better not lose me. Not many girls would take time out of their only day off to help their boyfriend’s parents paint their house. I am a keeper. Just hearing that she would share such kind words with her son about me made me smile. I’m used to the complete opposite from the parents of my partner so this was a great self-esteem booster Finally, I donated blood recently. I used to donate every four months but then my iron levels plummeted. I needed time to get my iron levels back up before I donated again. I got a call from Vitalant (formerly known as United Blood Services) and scheduled an appointment to donate whole blood. When I got there, I found out I had high enough iron levels to donate so for me I was ecstatic! Now, four days later, I got a text from Vitalant saying my blood and plasma donation helped saved someone’s life. Once again, that was a self-esteem booster. I enjoy helping others in any way I can, and I feel great knowing my donation helped someone in need. It’s truly the little things in life that make life worth it! Happy Thankful Thursday!
