It’s been a bit, but here I am ready to work on those thankfuls. Each day I begin, end, interrupt with thankfuls, but it’s time for me to report in!
There are so, so many things to list and I am just jumping in and letting it roll. A couple of weeks ago I met with a local friend who is also a publisher and she brought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a glass milk jug. It’s still brightening my day, when it should be dead.
Daughter has been very busy with her barista job and loving it more and more every day. She has so much fun, but takes her work seriously. They do have a sort of motto to have fun while they work. She’s working the Christmas parade crew and is going to get all decked out in a cute apron from her holiday attire at Joann’s. She’ll have all kinds of necklaces, headgear, and more. I can’t wait to take a picture.
We are enjoying the hiatus of tax season. Sweetheart still works steady, but not so much the overtime. He enjoys being able to read more as he is an avid reader of financial books.
Next week, I have cataract surgery #1 and I look forward to seeing better. Maybe my blinkers will get a rest and I can eventually drive at night without the light issue. And I am grateful for audio options if I need to rest my eyes. My reader is loaded all the time, anyways. Thankful for free books? Yes, please.
Tomorrow would be my sister Paula’s 75th birthday. I will celebrate it with her in spirit and believe she will be in the know. I am grateful for the time we had together on earth and that I can call on her now. I am grateful for my adopted sisters of which I have quite a few.
Each day, it’s important to stop and breathe, to take in what’s around us. It’s important to reset. May you have those moments of peace.
What a wonderful time we had discussing this and that and, oh yeah, writing and poetry. Juntu Ahjee is as much a friend as an artist in his own right. It’s been four years since our last talk and a lot of changes have happened. Just sit back and listen in on this fun interview. When you’re done, go check out Ahjee’s books. There’s not a one I have not fallen in love with. Give it a shot. https://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Store-Juntu-Ahjee/s?rh=n%3A133140011%2Cp_27%3AJuntu%2BAhjee
“Relish The Good” by Joni Caggiano A setting suntugs at the seamsof my life like anangry seamstress. Time fades,as scars risefrom a cruel rapewhen I was eighteen. Hope peeks earnestas burnt red skiesflirt with memoriesof a lost childhood. Freedom as hair flieson a rusty bike downan unpaved road tocash in pennies for candy.

My experience was one of many when a hurricane caused us to start over. Donations from work and church helped with this experience. This required several acts of kindness. It was scary to feel homeless and people with hearts came through without our asking.
