29 November - What I'm Thankful for Today

Tomorrow is the last day of the month. I can tell you it has been different. Normally, I work on a book with NaNoWriMo. Though I worked on a book, I did not come near 50K words as I usually do with ease. I'm thankful for the work I did on the books I worked on. Today, I worked on Where Eagles Soar. I'm thankful for getting all the Christmas cards in the mail before the mailman showed up. I'm thankful for what I accomplished this morning as I got up at 12:45 AM. I am especially thankful for the nap I got from 5-7:30. I'm thankful for getting stamps, and more cards, and new slippers this morning. I'm also thankful for the wonderful friends here on myLot. You make my day every day. Okay, that's my day. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. My favorite winter mug.

I am thankful for the sunshine. The fact that Chilly acts healthy still. That my mishap with a tree only resulted in a tiny scratch on my foot. George said it wasn't deep enough to really draw blood. So, that's something to be thankful for, too.

The year did zoom by on wings. I don't have a problem with working on so many books at once. Usually, it's my back that wakes me early. I've also been dealing with a pulled muscle for a couple of weeks. So I get the minimum and then the pain wakes me.

@just4him I finally got my sewing machine out yesterday and looked in my stash of material. First time I’ve had it out in a few years.

@RubyHawk The last time I took out my sewing machine, I had trouble seeing to thread the needle. Now, that I've had cataract surgery, I should try again.

That's all good to hear. I forgot about NanoWrimo. Although I have never done it, I always wanted to.

I must say that mug is so cute. I am searching for a mug like this. What book are you working? I meant to ask what exactly you do? I am truly glad to get some wonderful people on Mylot as well.

Thank you. I'm working on a couple of different ones - A Christmas-themed one, and two others I plan to publish early next year. I'm glad you're finding the people here wonderful.

I'm thankful for a kind email that I received from a student's parent who told me that he enjoys my class so much and that I am making a difference in her son's life.
