Ten Things of Thankful-March 30, 2024
Happy TTOT time! And March, in this neck of the woods, has turned into a gentle lamb. We are looking at 77 degrees today, daughter is in shorts (I have a sweater on), and the weekend looks to be gorgeous. How many thankfuls did you count?
It’s that time of year when I am lucky to see my sweetheart by 9 p.m. Yes…tax season is strong and healthy. The good news is that his office is feeding him supper. He shared the menu with me, and I started plotting how I could go help at the office. We have worked for the same firm before, but that’s not happening this time. He’s the only CPA with whom I would work alongside. I will listen to feedback about which dishes he liked, so I can make them for him later on. I learned from this last year that he found shrimp and grits to be delicious. Well, I did not know this, and I know how to make that dish. He’s had it a few times since-from my kitchen. I loved learning he liked them, also because that is one of my favorite dishes.
It’s been a super busy time in the publishing scene. We bumped up two books, by special request. My norm is one book per month. I am grateful to see the other side of this very soon. We’ve had great book launches and I was honored to do one for my favorite SistersRoc’N’Rhyme duo. We even did one with a mixed venue of live, on site while the rest of the participants were virtual. It went well.
This upcoming week is National Poetry Month and that changes our focus. You may be seeing more posts and poetry. The poster for this year is amazing.
Daughter is doing well with her Aloha Ambassador program. She’s oriented new members to the program and it’s gone well. She has arthroscopic knee surgery soon. The date is not set, but should be set up next week., We pray she finds relief after they rework her knee. It worked for me when I was in my twenties. Back then, you stayed in bed with a cast because they did long incisions. Then you lugged the cast around for a bit. So, I am grateful for much less invasive surgeries.
I think that there are at least ten things highlighted up there. And I am confident there will be more to come. May you know these blessings as well.
