Happy March and TTOT Time!

It’s actually World Writers’ Day! I posted about that just a moment ago. If you are a writer or are thinking about working on writing skills, it’s a great day to get started!

  1. I am thankful to be a writer. I may not be perfect, but I try my best. What is most important to me is to keep trying. We all have a story to tell…
  2. That is my #2 thankful. I am thankful that people tell their stories. Whether fact or fiction or a mix of both, I love to read stories. I am thankful that I was able to finish reading a book yesterday.
  3. The Storied Life of AJ Fikry is the story I finished reading. I have seen the movie and decided to compare the book to the movie. I found some answers in the book that filled in the blanks. I am glad I read the book, for this reason.
  4. My baby rose bush is budding and it’s so cool to watch it. I keep it at my desk by the window and it’s very thankful as the sun comes in at just the right amount. Once it warms up steadier outside, I will move her out there.
  5. This week is a heavy week for me. I have a Women in Publishing Summit from tomorrow through Saturday. It’s going to be interesting; I am sure, and I am grateful I am able to do this via Zoom. There are also two other events at the same time, but thanks to recordings, I can get in all three. It’s just going to mean that I watch some videos next week.
  6. This cardinal has been visiting my porch on a regular basis. We don’t get them, normally, but I believe this is the same one, just one, coming around. He’s looking at the outdoor plants.
  7. Maintenance is a benefit when you rent. I am grateful for maintenance who fixed an urgent matter in the same day.
  8. I found turkey on sale for .79 a pound. It is a small one, which I prefer. We like turkey any time of the year.
  9. Daughter has been trying pickleball with her friend and is loving it. She is also starting a bowling team. She’s pretty pleased.
  10. YOU What’s your thankful? Let’s hear it!

  2. Hi Lisa! It seems there are always 10 things to be grateful for in a given week! Yours sound fantastic. I especially l9ve the budding rose and your daughter playing pickle all!

    My 10 gratitudes are:

    1. 16 days until we leave for Portugal for our daughter’s wedding!
    2. It is supposed to rain here this evening. RAIN not snow.
    3. My little Shih Tzu always entertains me.
    4. I have been spending money on clothes because all of my old clothes are falling off –too big. So grateful for Poshmark, and Threadup and sales.
    5. I have also been playing with haircolor. Not much works on my grey hair, but it is fun.
    6. I weigh 15 years younger
    7. I got a stunning hat to wear at the wedding. I love, love, love hats.
    8. I have only 20 more poems to write for my planned book of 78 poems.
    9. The view of the snow-covered back range Rockies is really pretty.
    10. I have seen a pair of Ravens regularly since the beginning of the year, now one of them. I do believe they’ve laid eggs
    11. Bonus — I saw a pair of Bald Eagles sitting lovebird-like in a tree off the freeway. Zoom. What are the chances?

  4. I thought of you last week, as my husband spotted a cardinal when we were in Florida. I kept looking for one the rest of our time there, hoping I would see one, too, but I didn’t have such luck.

    Books are very often better than the movies. I’ll have to check out your recommendation.
