Ten Things of Thankful – November 27 2020

It’s that time again for expressing gratitude for a week well gratituded!
- Thanksgiving Zoom with family on Wednesday made our more than a week. It was so great to see mama as it’s been maybe a year, due to pandemic stuff.
- Thanksgiving dinner was well received. Definitely losing one pie recipe but thankful I could at least try making it. The other pie and the dressing were successes. Well, and the other stuffs too. Grateful we had the means to make this dinner. I remember a time when it took all I had to create a Thanksgiving meal.
- The Angel Card Project is coming up and we need help. I am grateful to help with the project. It’s pretty easy. Would you like to help, too? Here is the Angel Card Project Link.
- Heart Beats anthology is getting a lot of contributors. We can always use more HINT HINT
- Daughter is getting to work more hours due to the season.
- One of my clients was able to get two books to best seller ranking and I helped.
- Decorations are up for Christmas. Daughter did most of it, as is her preference and then we pitched in for this and that. It looks so festive in our home.
- There are leftover for at least 3 days so I don’t have to cook. I am grateful for that and the microwave.
- I don’t like to shop except for necessities and I still like to hurry that run. So, I am grateful that the needs are less for more.
- You and this is my invitation to you to join us for TTOT. What are your thankfuls? You can go to this blue box and click and add your post. It’s just that simple. Right?

I think this person is grateful for butterflies and I am too!
Speechless at the Oasis

Speechless at the Oasis
Crossing hot dunes to
Cool, grasses calming my feet
Heat radiates free
Grasping the well of coolness
Soothing leathered throats with drink
Lovers are speechless

From the book information: “Step in to the world of LaLa as he speaks of society from his poet mind’s eye. Analytical, yet down to the basics of understanding the human condition in a society which is sometimes daunting. Yet, LaLa sees awareness as the path to understanding, leading to peaceful living. It is such hope that brings forth the consideration of change. That first step is within before it can ever be of the world. Let’s read these words and inspire each of our own ways of thinking toward a common ground. LaLa puts down the hate as he picks up the pen.”
From the author’s statement: “Love’s Rhapsody, my compilation of poetry dedicated to the nature of love. Sit back with some soft music and let the words embrace you with the soul stirring of the feelings of love’s rhapsody. I have been writing poetry for many years and how can one write without including love in their theme? Whether it be poetry about love in general, family, life, social concerns, it all has some element of love. There’s love of life, love of one another, love of God, love of a better world and so on.”
