In the spirit of Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays, I wanted to reflect on how lucky I feel and how thankful I am for my life. Here are the top 10 things I am grateful for:
- Travel – I love the opportunity I have to travel both for work and for leisure. My favorite part about traveling is learning new things and experiencing new adventures.
- Family – I am fortunate to have such a large and loving family that I can return to in Miami any opportunity I get. Of course, they always ask me the same question: “when are you moving back to Miami for good?”
- Friends – I am lucky to have a vast network of friends. Pretty much in every state I travel to for work, I already know at least one person there.
- Being a Nurse Practitioner – What a challenging and fulfilling career. I am grateful for every step that led me to become a traveling nurse practitioner.
- Health – Over the past few years I have made my health a priority and have managed to lose a significant amount of weight. I also make sure to stay physically active which helps tremendously with mental health as well.
- Being an American – As corny as that may sound, freedom and liberty is priceless. I have had an opportunity to work in Saudi Arabia for a significant salary, but there is no price for freedom.
- God – He always has my best interests at heart and continues to bless me on a daily basis.
- Financial Stability – Being debt free, having little expenses, and plenty of savings is uplifting. This allows me to have a carefree attitude about life and allows me to feel like anything is possible.
- Knowledge – I have read 25 books so far this year. I am thankful for knowledge that allows me to keep an open mind and see different perspectives.
- Culture – I feel empowered being multilingual and having a cultural background to share with my peers.
What are you grateful for this year?
FAMILY – most definitely
