With Thanksgiving just behind us and continuing in the holiday season, many of us take time to express thanks and feel gratitude about the bounty we have. Most of us are thankful for our families, friends and other loved ones. We feel thankful for the health we may have, the material things we have acquired, laughter, children, moments of joy, and even just being alive
People often say they are thankful to have a job and a way to provide for themselves and those they love. I rarely hear people say they are thankful for the career they have chosen because it ignites their passions. My wish for everyone is not only do they have a job that pays the bills but a career that gratifies and feeds their soul. I am grateful to have found that career in social work. If you are thinking about becoming a social worker, are a social worker or even know a social worker, check below for the list of reasons I am grateful for this calling.
