A Few Things I'm Thankful For


At some point during the day on Thanksgiving, I like to stop and consider the good things in my life.  When the kids were little, while we were eating, we'd go around the table and share what we were thankful for.  So here are some of the things I'm grateful for today.  

My health is good, I live in a house I love with three little dogs, Sassie, Mishka and Gizmo, who make it possible for me to talk out loud and justify it as talking to the dogs and not myself.

I have grown kids and three granddaughters that I enjoy being with.  They all live in wonderful places I love to visit.

I have wonderful and supportive friends, especially my writing groups and critique parters.  

I am grateful for my muse who always has plenty of ideas for me--sometimes too many.  But that's a good thing.

So, life is good.  Looking forward to many more Happy Thanksgivings.

And here's a blast from the past--Thanksgiving 35 years ago.

A very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

  3. The reminders of your blessings remind me of my own. Thanks. And there's nothing like another writer to understand we talk to ourselves and to the people in our heads. When that other writer is also a friend, like you said, priceless.

  4. Thanks, Susan. I once told an attorney friend who represented people being committed that the only difference between me and his clients was that I didn't talk out loud while walking down the street.
