It's a very good day! I'm thankful for not oversleeping this morning, which was my waking dream when I opened my eyes at 2:40 AM. I'm thankful for the great workout I got in the pool, hot tub, and fitness center. I do my therapy exercises in the hot tub. It works well that way. I also had additional exercises to do. In the fitness center, I did my personal best on the elliptical with .65 miles and the stationary bike with 3.12 miles. It was an excellent morning. I'm thankful for the nap I got this morning. I needed it as I was dozing off on the computer again. I received my Thanksgiving meal from the complex that I put in for when they sent out a sheet about the meals last month. It was free, so I won't complain. I just wasn't expecting pork for Thanksgiving. I don't think my system was either. I need some ice cream to calm my stomach. I'm thankful for the work I did on Wilderness Call. I got 3783 words today for a total of 50,253. I finished the challenge, but as I said, the book is far from finished. I left it today with a cliffhanger about what happens next. Right now, I know what happens next. I'll write that tomorrow. Right now, as much as I would love to stay on the computer, I need to get my feet up. Before I forget, I want to thank Marie, Judy Story, Marsha, and a former myLotter for the wonderful Christmas cards I got in the mail this week. You guys made my day wonderful! Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. I might do laundry tomorrow so I have it out of the way for Thanksgiving. I'll be here as much as I can tomorrow. I'll also get more writing done, though I won't be doing 2000 words a day anymore. I do want to finish this and know where it's headed from here. The image belongs to me.

I want to be here more now. I write a thousand words an hour. So you know how much time I devoted to Wilderness Call this month. I have a lot more to write. It's an exciting book. Thanks, I'm very happy with my workouts lately.

I am grateful that a food order from a company that has a business of sending meals for a small fee came home today.

@just4him Thank you for your kind comments since it will be hard for my relatives to buy Christmas gifts and enjoy the holidays due to the high prices.

Good for you finishing the challenge, I am thankful for having a quiet day and getting more online work done, I figure if I put in great effort this week while others are enjoying Thanksgiving I might be able to find more writing work and more way to get some additional income,

I wonder why they served pork for a Thanksgiving meal? This isn't even close to being traditional! At least this complex they are trying hard, nothing like the other place where you lived

@Dena91 Ham has never been a favorite for any holiday or meal. I'm glad you eat the sides and leave the ham alone.

If my mother in law could she would serve ham at Thanksgiving. Ham isn't something I grew up with nor is it something I like a lot. When I married Mike I learned any family meals other than Thanksgiving at his parents would be ham. I tend to just eat the sides and am satisfied. She cooks so many delicious meals, tried to tell her to mix it up but she cooks ham.

It did what it needed to do. I can't eat a lot of ice cream in winter. I get too cold.

Yes, I did. Tomorrow will be another busy day. I'm doing laundry on Friday. I just couldn't do it today with my therapy appointment so late in the morning.
