Thanksgiving

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. . . so I hope you haven’t given up on the site!! I was swamped with my first real revisions and then life and family kept me busy. I haven’t figured out a routine yet for the blog and need to get more organized with that. When I was teaching, we had a special name for every day of the week and special activities for that day. If one of the days started with a “B,” I’d be in great shape. I’ll have to be creative and think of something.

We’re celebrating our Thanksgiving on Saturday this year, so that all of our family can be together. My siblings are coming to my house this time, with their families. The first time we’ve had the holiday celebration at our house in more than a decade. We live the farthest away and it’s easier for one family to travel than three. But we put out the invitation and everyone was eager to get away for a couple days, instead of the one day visit that usually happens.

So, at the top of my thankful list will go my family. The other items, in no particular order: good friends, my writing and readers, my new job, my health, a family that worships together, the freedom we have in the United States. My list could go on and on and this year, I’m determined to keep up with my gratitude journal and write down three things each day.

What would you put on your thankful list? Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
