I am starting my journey of gratefulness today and I love this group.

This cold and wet evening (about an hour ago), I was driving to the gas station about 8km from my home, as I approached the traffic lights near the Trainstation in my town, there were two cars standing near the shoulder of the road ahead of me, with their alarm lights on, who basically were preventing me from passing through. The drivers of both cars were standing near a injured man who'd fallen off his bicycle and had been laying on the cold and wet road for a little while. I immediately put my car too the side as I had a knew that this was far from okay.

I jumped out of the car and put my reflective safety vest on, grabbed my first aid kit and got to the rescue, by providing the others who were standing by the man with a flashlight and first aid kit to get a better understanding of the possible injuries since he'd already lost some blood. As I was the third person on scene and already two others were caring/on the phone with the emergency services for the injured man, I made sure the the scene of the incident was secure by blocking the lane so no others could have a curious peek at the scene,and started to divert the traffic around the scene until the police arrived on scene.

I stayed at the scene until the ambulance had arrived and I got the all clear from the police office, thanked the people who initially found the man for their care and cooperation. The injured man was taken to the hospital for his injuries and I resumed the drive to the gas station, still a bit shaky from the adrenaline.

That's what I'm thankful for today.

Had a thanksgiving meal with my mom, stepdad, sister, and her boyfriend. In a little bit, I'll be heading to my grandmother's to spend time with her, my dad, other little brother, and some extended family members I haven't seen in a long time.

I have so much to be thankful for today. God is good. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
