Happy Thanksgiving to You!
The Obligatory What I’m Thankful For Post – 2019
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 gainfully employed (I need money to pay bills, buy scratch-off lotto tickets so I can stop working, buy food and books. Lots of books. So many books.)
- Google (What did we do before it was so easy to look up random facts like “How much money does an NFL practice squad player make?” Seriously, as a writer I love Google. It saves time on research. I mean, what did people do before when they 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.)
- Therapy. I found an excellent therapist this year. What? You think I don’t have to work on being this normal.
- That my Lakers are finally a good team again. I was still rooting for them but it was hard to watch.
- Music – I love music. The ’80s and ’90s were the golden eras. Fight me!
- How to Get Away With Murder. I can’t wait for the final six episodes! Although making us wait until April is cruel. And unnecessary.
- And the big one, health. (You can’t put a price on good health.)
These things can go on and on but I’ll stop there.
This Thanksgiving season, what are you thankful for?
Happy Thanksgiving – 2018
Enjoy good food and time with family!
Is It Thanksgiving Already?
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.

- 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.)
- Music – I love music
- The Closer is back for five final episodes!
- And the big one, health. (You can’t put a price on good health.)
These things can go on and on but I’ll stop there.
