Show and Tell: Gratitude

This is my first time participating in Mel's Show and Tell. I read hundreds of blogs... only half of which are in my google reader, but Mel's is one of them. I've been wanting to participate in some blogging activities that will help me increase my posting. By participating in things like this and Rebirth Nurse's blog carnival, I should be soon back into the swing of regular posting, but no promises. I will probably alternate Show and Tell with Wordless Wednesdays.

For those visiting my place for the first time, wondering what I mean by "back to regular posting" while looking quizzically at my near empty blog archive (lol) you should know that I had two semi-successful blogs before this one. I started my blogging back in 2006 as minoritynursingstudent, then in 2007 I moved up to minoritymidwiferystudent, and now, 2 months post graduation, I moved up to minoritymidwife. Welcome!

I've also been wanting to broaden my blog topics, while still staying within the realm of women's health care, especially that of black women. But right now, I whine a lot about not being to find a job, and other random stuff. Actually, I've been whining all month...

So for my first show and tell, I'm showing:

I took this photo on a beach on the east coast last year at the very end of summer. The man and I had went for our last beach day of the season and stayed until sunset for the first time. It was a really beautiful night out. I'm glad we stayed to see it. I'm grateful for him.

Although we don't have much money, we do have food, shelter, and the occasional dollar for something a lil extra.

Although we don't have health insurance, we do have our health.

And we are grateful.

Here's what other folks are showing and telling.
