Today, and every day, I am grateful for my readers. They're the best readers in the world and give me reasons daily to keep on writing, even the days when the writing is just plain hard. I wish you all the very best.
Last night I was grateful for being home, for my own bed. After a more than full day of flights, cancelled flights and waiting, waiting, waiting, I finally got home at just shy of 2 am, and totally loved finally being here and having m own bed to sleep in!
Today I am grateful for optometrists. I have needed glasses since the 7th grade and am at this point fairly blind without them. Thank goodness glasses correct my sight and make it possible to write, to read, to see the things around me!
Today I am grateful for my dog. His name is Bacon and he is a beagle/boston terrier mix and he's adorable. I miss him a lot, but he'll be very excited to see me late Tuesday evening.
Today I am grateful for clean air. I have allergies and asthma. Smoke and various other pollutants really bother me and get me all congested. So I really do appreciate clean, fresh air.
Today I am grateful for storms. I'm also grateful that while there was plenty of thunder and lightning, the big rain and hail waited until we'd gotten inside with the groceries.
I love thunder and lightning and big rain. I also love a good winter blizzard. Both from a warm dry place, of course. That definitely makes a difference! But it's amazing to watch nature just letting loose.
Today I am grateful for traditions. Like the one where I get to visit my best friends for Thanksgiving and we made stuff like Chex Mix, which I get to sit and munch while hanging out with BA and Julia.
I got really busy yesterday and didn't have a chance to do this, so...
Yesterday I was grateful for community caring. I was at a fundraising dinner for a community charity. There was an amazing meal, donated by a caterer who had been a refugee and needed help herself not all that long ago, silent auctions and a long table of donated items for sale. The hall was full.
