One minute you’re young and sexy and the next you’re turning down the car radio so you can see the road better! For real. LOL
HOWEVER, as I get older and wiser I realize how much I truly have to be thankful for. Being thankful is a magical superpower. It’s humbling and empowering to realize I have so much good in my life. Since it’s the month of Thanksgiving, I thought this would be a sweet post.
First, there’s my family. I’ve been married to my best friend for thirty years and I still like him. He also has an outstanding butt. I have two adult kids who still love to visit and they do often. They’re happy, healthy and kicking ass in life. My mom and dad are doing great and I love them to the moon and back. I’m their favorite daughter. I’m also their only daughter.
My friends. As time has moved on, I find that I might have fewer people in my life, but they’re the ones I consider ride or die. Writing is a solitary job and I’d be lost without my besties. A little shout out here to Renee George. She has saved my ass multiple times. She knows what I mean. LOL
My fur babies. Yes, I have a problem with collecting strays, but if that’s my biggest problem I think I’m doing just fine. My husband thinks I’m nuts, but he loves me the way I am. And full disclosure… I am nuts.
My work. Writing books is the best job I’ve ever had because it doesn’t feel like a job. Letting my imagination rip and occasionally jumping the shark while getting paid is awesome. I write because I have to. I had no clue if anyone would want to read my stories, but I didn’t care. It was for me. It was icing on the cake of life that people enjoyed my crazy imagination. Writing makes me whole and is a lot cheaper than therapy. LOL
Here’s a little list of other things I’m grateful for…
—Rabbit turd ice
—Coke in a Yeti cup with rabbit turd ice
—Fireworks
—Shooting stars
—Laughing hard at stupid stuff
—Burnt chocolate chip cookies with pecans
—Reading just one more chapter at 3AM
—My readers
I hope you have things in your life you are grateful for. It makes like a whole lot happier.
