February 16 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Good evening. It's been a good day today. The sun is about to set on a beautiful Sunday. Our high for today was 28 F. I don't know if it got that high. Right now it is 26 F. I know I haven't been here since I left for church this morning. I said yesterday, it doesn't take long to get back to writing, which is what I've been doing most of the afternoon. Not on Vendetta, though I will be working on that too in the next few days. What I'm thankful for today. This being Sunday, I'm thankful for the privilege to go to church and worship as I please. This morning's service was awesome, and they started streaming the service, so if I can't make it for some reason, I can watch it live through the church website. Though the number of times I haven't been in church is limited. I might have missed twice last year. I know of once for sure. I'm thankful for food. My lunch was great. Though I didn't have much, so snacks were in order and I have plenty to choose from. I also stopped at the store on the way home from church and bought bananas. Three bunches, one green. They won't all ripen at the same time, and if it happens, I can make more banana bread. I'm thankful for the work I accomplished on New Horizons - Predators and Blue Fire. I don't need to worry about my word count on that book, though I did increase it today and made corrections, now that I have a map of the planet worked out. My son will be doing the official map for the series. I'm thankful for the nap I got shortly after I got home from church. That's what I'm thankful for today. What are you thankful for? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. I know I have a lot of notifications, but I have been on the computer all afternoon and it's time to get off. I will be back tomorrow to get the current notifications caught up and spend time with you.

I am thankful for the gentleman who came to cut the lawn today. Not to mention I am enjoying writing my fan fictions on Archive Of Our Own based on the passing of Richard Grayson's parents in the circus accident.

@just4him I am enjoying trying to stay close to canon but also add some new and original characters.

I am so glad it hasn't been that cold during the day down this way, it's bad enough when it's that cold at night. How many books are you working on right now, just 2?

Yes. New Horizons and Vendetta this week. It's interesting you're keeping tabs on what I'm working on. It actually feels nice. Right now the sun is shining so the 16 degrees don't feel too bad.

I just find it interesting that you're working on more than one book @just4him I didn't know authors did that.

@rebelann There are a few who do. I read about a famous author who does that and that made me happy to know I wasn't weird.

The smell of banana bread is one of the best... I love it more when they add raisins in it.

Wow, it's so cold where you are! Common sense says it would be, but it makes me feel like our 50 degree weather was downright balmy. I am thankful I was able to go to a new church today. My friend wanted to find a new one so I said I would go with her. The sermon spoke to my heart, but the music was so loud it gave my friend a headache. But as long as our hearts were touched then it was time well spent.

You are lucky that you can buy different colors in your banana. Here, it is always one or the other.

The green ones aren't ripe. They'll turn yellow soon.

Great things to be grateful for Valerie. Although cold in the 30s, I'm glad it didn't snow and the sun was out. I'm grateful that my weekend headache disappeared and that everyone thanked me--even my priest--for bringing fresh murcotts straight from Florida, courtesy of my dad's annual delivery.

@just4him Thanks! My priest even put it in the prayer and blessing. I wish I had enough to go around when I only brought 16.
