Wow. Where did the time go? October, we barely knew you. Now here comes November being pushy as usual and flaunting two holidays (Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving). Okay. Fine. I’ll honor the traditions and celebrate the day of thanks with friends and family. I’ll eat the turkey and listen to the same stories that get told around the table. I’ll overlook that one cousin that gets on my nerves and I’ll hope no one notices that I haven’t lost any weight from last year. I’ll spend time with my large and loud extended family and I’ll miss not having my Hubby home for this holiday.
And even though life isn’t perfect, I’ll take comfort in knowing that I am blessed to have a family to visit and a meal to eat.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and may your family be safe.
You know what this means. You need to be grateful............
There are certain things that can be expected this time of year. Football, turkey dinners, family get togethers, Black Friday sales followed by Cyber Monday sales and a bombardment of “thankful” lists. These lists are from various people bragging about how great their lives are and we should all applaud them for recognizing it. I have resisted the urge to add to this phenomenon but I couldn’t think of anything else to blog about so here goes.
Things I am “thankful” for in no particular order:
My family (Okay, if you don’t put that first people will talk about you.)
To be gainful employed (I need money to pay bills, buy scratch off lotto tickets so I can stop working, buy food and books. Lots of books)
The NBA Lockout is finally over. Now I can watch the Lakers on Christmas Day.
Google (What did we do before it was so easy to look up random facts like “Did Michael Jackson really write all of his songs?” Seriously, as a writer I love Google. It saves time on research. I mean, what did people do before when you wanted to know something? Actually talk to people? The horror.)
Friends that get me and love me unconditionally. (Thank you for the material. Oh, you didn’t realize that I’ve based a character in my book from your adventures? Pay no attention to this list.)
That they finally found Sophia on The Walking Dead. Even though she ended up being a zombie and Rick had to shoot her in the head. (On a side note, I am totally on Team Shane.)
