Thankfulness

For America, it’s Thanksgiving week. Whether you’re here in the U.S., or somewhere else in the world, I want to take a moment to share with you my gratitude, and to reflect on the year gone by.
 
I have so much to be thankful for. My family, friends, my sweet pups, the forest, and that we’re all healthy are givens. I have so much more for which I have gratitude, especially in my writing world. Here are just a few, just because…
 
🍂  The fact that I have a career doing the thing I love doing the most…writing!
🍂  Words! I am a vocabulary lover. We have a box of SAT words at the dinner table and quiz ourselves regularly!
🍂  Grammar. Enough said.
🍂  WriterSpark Writing Academy! I’m so thrilled to be able to pay it forward and help aspiring writers.
🍂  All the writers who came before…JRR Tolkien; Margaret Mitchell; Frances Hodgson Burnett; Homer; Orson Scott Card; CS Lewis; Jane Austin; Shakespeare; Mary Shelley; Dickens; Poe; Hemingway; Fitzgerald; Steinbeck; Robert Louis Stevenson… I could go on and on!
🍂 And the poets, especially Robert Frost, because like him, I took the road less traveled. 
🍂  All the stories yet to be told, simmering in writer’s minds.
🍂  All the words yet to be written, that will make up those stories.
🍂  Art and how it influences my writing.
🍂  And you, lovely readers. I am SO thankful for each and every one of you.
 
Wishing you all a wonderful week full of hope and gratitude, and good books.
 
Happy Reading!
