How are you doing today? I have a few things I'm thankful for today. I'm thankful for my life today. Today, I spent time with you. I read your posts and enjoyed learning about you and what you are doing. I went to Nepal. I went to the Philippines, Germany, and Chili. I traveled to various parts of the US and Canada. I'm thankful each of you is part of my life. We are friends in a virtual community. I'm thankful for the royalty check deposited today. I received a notice about it a few days ago. It makes me happy to know my books are selling. I'm thankful I made it through the day without a nap. I'm thankful for the steps I got in today. I made my goal plus 2000. I couldn't make it to the pool today, but I could still get my quota of steps. I'm thankful that though I woke up super hungry, I didn't have more than two meals and one snack. I got the necessary sodium and kept my calories within reason. I'm thankful for the work I did on Legacy. Only one chapter today, but it is a good chapter. I firmed it up, added dialogue and description, and took out unnecessary words and phrases. It's coming along well. That was my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Yes, and there's no baggage fees or tickets to buy. It's an awesome way to travel. I'm glad you're thankful for another day.

@just4him You are so right. I hate to apply for visa or line up in immigration queue

Thank you so much for the compliment. None of the characters were inspired by the people here, but there is one character in Legacy who reminds me very much of one dear friend here. Since I wrote this book many years ago, I didn't know anyone here. However, this character loves to shop.

@just4him Thanks so much. Never look at a map of Florida. It can rain when the sun is shining and vice verse. We are due for clouds tomorrow.

@DianneN I saw green over the southern half of Florida this morning, so not surprised about the clouds.

I'm glad you had a wonderful day and the weather was gorgeous. I've been watching the weather map. When I see a clear map for Florida or rain, my thoughts are with you and hope you're having a good day.

I would love that. However, it would be impossible with the science fiction ones that take place in another galaxy.
