11 March - What I'm Thankful for Today

Today was a good day. I was on the late side getting up this morning, but I still got almost 8 hours of sleep. I guess I must need all this sleep I'm getting. I'm thankful for getting my steps. It was a combination of walking the building, twice per floor, including the underground garage, and being with my son and the walking I did to and from his girlfriend's apartment. I got the last of my steps as I stepped into my apartment when I got home. I'm thankful for the time I spent with my son and his girlfriend this afternoon. The book covers are almost complete. I just sent her the font style for Where Eagles Soar and Destination Love. Where Eagles Soar only needs the book title and my name on the cover. They also have ideas for the back and spine, so it will be interesting to see what they come up with. I'm thankful for getting more work done on Where Eagles Soar before I left for their place. I have about 60 pages left to edit and then I will seek out someone to proof and read it. They're called Beta readers. Okay, that was my day. I didn't get here as I planned, so all notifications will need to wait until Monday. Life happens. I'm sorry I couldn't be here. I'm also thankful winter isn't over. We have a storm coming in from about 9 p.m. until 10 a.m. Monday morning. They are calling for 8.8 inches of snow over that time. They posted advisories. So, it will be a First Alert weather day for the next two days, starting tonight. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me.

Cuddling in a blanket is always good.

I know you are. You can just push it back this way if you get it. I'm glad you cuddled under your blanket and got a few things done.

@just4him Cool. How did you you find someone to edit? I've had friends read chapters of my book, but that's about it.

@TheHorse I do my own editing, which is one reason I want someone to read it. A second pair of eyes is always good.

I guess they can be. As I don't have a lot of money, I give the person who reads and proofs for me a free copy of the book and his or her name in the acknowledgments.

@just4him We recorded it yesterday. But mostly for learning. Maybe I'll do a tighter version for Vanny.

Well that sounds like a good day, busy too.... that's good about the book covers too. That sounds like way too much snow! We had a nice break from the snow today but supposed to get some (and/or rain) tomorrow. I got a lot of steps today myself, over 11k

That's wonderful you got that many steps. Thank you. I'm excited about the book covers. Never enough snow for me. This is the front of the building.

@just4him Not that it did me any good sugar wise or weight wise. That's good to hear about the book covers. Oh yeah, I can recall about that lol. That looks like way too much to me lol. I am so over winter! Luckily right now we are getting rain.

Thankful for the breakfast and fellowship at church this morning. No snow for us tomorrow, just a cold rain/sleet day for us. Glad you are getting a little more before old man winter goes away.

I'm glad you had a wonderful breakfast and fellowship at church. I just saw yesterday's total that doesn't include Friday and Saturday. Yesterday was 8.8 inches. That was the amount we were supposed to get for the three days. So, I'm guessing we got over a foot of snow with what I'm seeing outside.
