Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, because it’s like Christmas without the stress of gift giving. It’s a time to be with family and just enjoy each other over a HEAPING plate of food, which let’s face it is awesome!
I am a big advocate of saying thank you. It’s an under used phrase in the world today. Thank you seems so difficult for some people to say and it’s even harder for some to focus on what they are thankful for. Instead, they’re consumed by the things they don’t like.
Yes, I start sounding all new age-ee when I get on this kick. I guess I am then. I’m going to take a moment here to be thankful, and I encourage you to do the same. Please in the spirit of Thanksgiving, tell me what you are thankful for this year.
I am so thankful for:
My family – each and every one of them even the cracked nuts. YES! Even they make me who I am, and I am so thankful.
My home – It was a long hard fight to call the roof over my head my home, but this year it became mine, and I am so thankful .
My Book – If fighting for my house seemed hard, fighting for my book was harder. I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, 20-years at novels, so to hold my first book in my hands this year is something for which I am SOOOOO Thankful.
Readers – Sales of A Grand Murder have been brisk since day one, and yes I realize the first few were my friends and family (thank you for that), but now the sales have exhausted the number of people I’ve ever met in my life. Now we’re into people who love to read. I am so thankful for people who love a good story as much as I do. Thank you!
You – Yes, you whose eyes are on these words right now, thank you for being her to read this post. I am so thankful that you have chosen to stay with me this far. I am thankful for you and to you.
Please share with me what you are thankful for this Thanksgiving!
Love ~ Stacy
