5 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Tweet

Good evening from Green Bay, Wisconsin. My computer says it's 31 F. A mite chilly. I didn't watch the weather at all today, so I don't know what it's supposed to be like today. I also didn't go outside, so I don't have first hand knowledge of what it feels like either. Today has been a different day for me. I could almost call it depressing. It took until a short while ago to figure out why I was depressed. So, I'll tell you why being depressed is something to be thankful about. I'm thankful for the book I'm working on Wilderness Cry. The situation begins at the beginning of the book and is a good cause for the main character to be depressed. Usually when that happens with my writing, I have the same feelings and emotions as my characters. So, it wasn't anything I'm experiencing personally. I'm not depressed over anything in my life, but it is my book that is causing the emotional drain. Once I figured that out, I became my normal happy self again and can move forward with my day, or evening as the case might be. I'm thankful for the eight plus hours of sleep I got last night. To open my eyes to find it almost five a.m. is unheard of for me. I'm always up long before then. However, it's been a good day. I managed to get everything I needed to do done in a timely manner. I'm thankful for the time I spent here with you. I always enjoy seeing what you're doing in your part of the world. I finished the notifications three times today. I'm thankful I kept my calories down today without compromising on food. I had fish, not salmon but a lower calorie fish with rice for lunch today. So, we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. Okay, that's my day. It's been good. I made headway with the new book and that's always a good thing. What are you thankful for today? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me. Pictures from the last storm. There's almost no snow on the ground now.
