January 15 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Another beautiful quiet day. I woke up to snow flurries this morning. It had snowed since yesterday morning. No accumulation but it looked lovely to see snowflakes dancing in the wind.
I'm thankful today for those snow flurries. Of course, I had nothing to do with the snow, but it is lovely to look at.
I'm thankful for the sleep I got again last night. I'm going to enjoy these two nights of sleep since I'll be going to bed early tonight and getting up early again tomorrow and the next week as I head back to the pool on Monday.
I'm thankful for the sunshine shining in my window warming up my bedroom as I sit here.
I'm thankful for getting the notifications done before noon today and visiting with many of you to see what's going on in your world.
I'm thankful for the work I did on Where Eagles Soar. I made my work easier today by going through and getting the paragraphs set apart before I got everything else worked out. It took less time to work it out than usual. Though it still took a good amount of time.
I'm thankful for the work I did on Love's Illusions. I decided I'm going to finish that novel this year. I've only been working on it off and on since 2001, I think. Maybe longer, maybe not as long. It's time to finish my problem child.
I'm thankful I set down my writing goals for this year. My plans are to Edit Where Eagles Soar, New Horizons: Predators and Blue Fire, and Destination Love and Finish Love's Illusions. If I work on anything more, I'll add it to the whiteboard.
Okay, that's been my day. Time to get off the computer before I can't see to type as the sun is shining and about to cover my computer.
What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

I tried to send my icy rain and snow to you but some of it's falling here anyway. I'm glad Pretty and I won't need to leave the house until the temps here are above freezing for a couple of days.
It started snowing at a little before 3 am. I took a photo at 3 am... We're supposed to get over a foot before Sunday morning.

@just4him It's still snowing outside. Maybe if I push a bit more it can still get you, too.
You're too far north for me to force it to you but I'm still hoping I can bury Doc Andersen under several feet of snow before the storm ends. Washington is in the direct line of travel for it.

@DaddyEvil I thought it was going to swing to the northeast before it hit Washington.

I am thankful that I get to chill and watch football. I am thankful that you've inspired me to get a couple of paragraphs done on my book. I am thankful that I have the strings here to restring my Collings OM-1 and give it more "throng."

Well that is good that the snow hasn't stuck....and you could enjoy watching it fall.
Best of luck with your books and writing this year.
I hope to try to write out one of my novel ideas one of these days.

@just4him Well it not sticking is good for driving safety, lol. But yes I do know
and I bet it will, for sure.
maybe I should share a sample here to see if my writing is even good enough in that way, lol

It's still very cold here. We're in an Arctic blast again for a few days. The sun, though nice to see, means it's very cold. I'd rather see clouds. It's warmer when it's cloudy.
I'm glad your fever is gone and it wasn't virus-related.

That is a lot of writing for you to do. I couldn't imagine having so much to write. I have trouble here trying to come up with something to say at times. 
I'm thankful for the impending snowstorm, to begin sometime after midnight and go through Monday morning. Like you I love the snow have a blessed evening.

The only writing I'm doing will be Love's Illusions. The other three are finished novels that I'm editing to get published one day soon. Where Eagles Soar is the next one I hope to publish.
Enjoy the snowstorm. I hope it doesn't interfere with going to church.

@just4him Church services were canceled. It's a good thing as it switched over to freezing rain and sleet around 10 AM and it is still coming down. Our congregation is small, about 20-25 faithful people, 18 of which are 60+. Sammy didn't want to risk any of us being out on the roads or walking in it. I am thankful for that.

Thank you. I have been writing since I was eight. I have a good imagination. It takes a lot of work. It's not just putting words on paper.
