Thankful for 4-H 11/5/15

I am thankful for my years in 4-H. I was in 4-H for 11 years.  There was a great deal of learning and fun in those years. I took a cooking/baking class practically every year.  So that is how I learned to cook from scratch.  I still enjoy cooking to this day.  I did a great deal of public speaking while in       4-H as well. My club did a great deal of volunteering as well. I wish I only had the time now to volunteer somewhere.  It is weird to me some people do not know what 4-H is.  Many people think 4-H is just for people who live on a farm.  4-H would be great for any child growing up as they can learn about cooking, leadership, pet care, babysitting, citizenship and many more things.  My mom is still a 4-H leader.

Do you know someone who was in 4-H?

Thankful for Blogging world 11/4

Thankful for the blogging world as big as it may be.  Some people may not understand what I talking about with the blogging world.  There are so many blogging groups that a person can be a member of. This groups a person is able to share posts or even ask questions.  They are able to gain blogger friends for support.  It is great to be able to have blogger friends for support to lean on or ask questions to. They understand the ups and downs of being a blogger.  Being a blogger I have found so many blogs out on the internet I would never have found if was not a blogger today.  I love reading what others have to say on various topics.  The blogging world also have many possibilities to be able to gain a following or even make money.

I am a blogger and proud to be one.

Employment Thanks 11/3

Today I would like to give thanks for my job.  I am thankful to even have one.  Some people are unable to have one.  I presently work on one location. I will be starting a new job at a hospital on the 16th.  I am not very happy at my present location due to being short staffed many days.  When you are short staffed it can make a person very stressed out.  I could easily work some more days until I start the new job and stay PRN there.  Just don't know if it worth the stress. I could also work as substitute teacher aide when needed as well along with the hospital job. Much less stress in a school vs. my job now.  But that is my opinion some may think differently.

I will be working night shifts on 12 hours at a time at the hospital job.  I will be able to learn new tasks which I am looking forward to doing.

I also could say that blogging is my job as well.  I love to blog as it is writing.  It would be better if I made a little more money with it.

What kind of job do you have that you are thankful for?

November month of thanks 11/2/15

So many people are posting what they are thankful for this month.  Don't get me wrong this is a great thing to do but shouldn't we be thankful all the time and not just November.  Sometimes it can be hard to be thankful when we are having hard times.  Think about the simple things you are thankful for not just your family and such.  Be happy and thankful you have a house or food or a bed as some may not even have that at all.

What could you be doing this month maybe to help others to be thankful for something?
Give some food for thanksgiving dinner or help somewhere
Donate some food or clothes for those that need it because it will be cold soon enough.
Give needed items to some nursing home residents.
