Ten Things of Thankful 10-22-23

Hans and Lisa at Duke Gardens

Howdy strangers! It’s been a spell since I’ve posted a TTOT. Let’s see if I can still do this.

2. I’m progressing ahead of schedule for rotator cuff surgery recovery. I’ve passed Phase 1 physical therapy and enter Phase 2 this week. I’ve got a new problem as a side effect of having to sleep in a different position, but I’ll have that assessed this week. Thankful for an experienced physical therapist.

3. There have been 2 books released and I’m moving forward.

4. Tax season part 2 has ended.

5. We’ve been on a staycation this week due to #4. I’ve still worked but not as hard.

6. Family time at Duke Gardens was lovely. The flowers weren’t as abundant but the temperature was perfect and I took lots of bench pictures and enjoyed the change of seasons.

7. Dear Heart has had wonderful feedback. This dedication inspired by my mother was well received as evidenced by the contributions.

8. I got to drive without a sling and it’s going well.

9. Daughter is having a great time in her day program.

10. You.

*****ANNOUNCEMENT!***** I’m Glad We Did This by Kelli Lage is available!

I’m Glad We Did This is a poetry chapbook by Kelli Lage that captures and treasures the transition from childhood and adolescence to adulthood. Memories of simple and delicate joys are scattered throughout this chapbook. Though nostalgia is present throughout this book, the author opens it up for readers to be present in the act of remembering those who have made us who we are. Lage pulls from elements of her rural hometown that highlight the closeness of the relationships described in this book. With just a river dam near her, she takes in nature as much as the faces of those around her, and often intertwines the two. As readers immerse themselves into I’m Glad We Did This they will discover a portrait of friendship that highlights joy found within past and present connections. I’m Glad We Did This is for readers who enjoy small, beautiful, and messy moments of day to day life, appreciate nature and memory, and find themselves moved when sunlight pokes through trees, dew bounces off grass, and rivers curve and skip.

Available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble
