Give Thanks
Thank you so much for allll your feedback on the book covers for the third book in A Charmed Life series, I'm So Sure. Very helpful! I've passed it on to my publisher and we'll see what happens. But we appreciate all your help.
Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I'm ready to eat some serious food, I know that. But I'm not quite ready for Thursday. Because after Thursday comes Friday then after Friday, the weekend, and then. . . vacation is over. It's gone by so fast. I can't even believe it.
I thought I would take a quick moment and give some thanks. I'm grateful for so many things.
1. For my family and friends. I'm related to and friends with some funny, entertaining, supportive, fabulous, generous, amazing people. And they even claim me.
2. For my health. And for my God being a healer.
3. For books to read.
4. For my students who crack me up.
5. For the opportunity to write my own books and serve God with my often limited gift. And limited brain. Writing is hard and stressful and stressful and hard. But I love it.
6. For the show Castle. Finally there is something on TV I want to watch.
7. For Glee. Questionable plot lines, but the music is tops. And conveniently available on iTunes.
8. For writing friends. Those people who have helped me along the way. And put up with my whining.
9. For Miller the Mentally Challenged Puking Cat. Though I'm not sure why. (He was staring at me as I was typing, and I just felt this pressure to add him to the list.)
10. For Black Friday lessons. This year I will not make the mistake of beginning my day of shopping Hades by eating a Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuit. Because chicken…it's NOT what's for breakfast.
11. For aspartame-free gum. Because it completes me. (Even though the flavor only lasts for 2 minutes. But it's a really good two minutes.)
12. For Target. Because I like you. Lots.
13. For being officially cured of my Entertainment Tonight addiction.
14. For Jon Gosselin for curing me of my Entertainment Tonight addiction.
15. For Twitter. My new obsession. Twitter, I strongly disliked you at first, and I want to apologize for being so judgmental. But it's just my way. Now that we're BFFs and spend soooo much time together, I see the real you. Way too often.
16. Holiday M&Ms in various fun flavors. Enough said.
17. Cheese.
18. The color pink.
19. Finally finding some herbal tea that doesn't make me want to barf, throw on a pair of Birkenstocks, and and sing “Blowin' in the Wind.”
20. For you. Thank you blog and book readers for your support, comments, and the sense of community you bring here. I look forward to hearing what you have to say each week and love just hanging out with you. Because we're tight like that. And because nobody has better readers/bloggies than I do. So have a very happy Thanksgiving. Eat much. Laugh often. And nap well.
Would love to hear what you are thankful for this year.
Gratefully yours,
JEN
