Ten Things of Thankful – April 2 2021
Happy Friday and TTOT Day! Let’s get hopping!
- National Poetry Month! Of course, this gets top billing on my thankfuls! This is one of my favorite months. Every day I write a poem to a prompt and I also write a private poem. The short poems I share and the private poem is saved for possible publishing. I am grateful for this month of focus. It amazes me how much good comes from it all.
- Daughter has been helping me with creating special cards for a secret project. She is such a huge help with these things.
- Vaccine shot #2 happened on Tuesday. I am grateful for vaccines and grateful for each day closer to getting past the effects of the shot (hey I have to frame it as a pozzie, right).
- Grateful for great news I can’t share. Just trust it is super thankfully awesome!
- Grateful that the anthology is up and running and the participants are going to read their contributions on April 10.
- Thankful for Good Friday and Easter Sunday for the representation of love and light. It is a reminder of how we are all lights for love in this world.
- Thankful that my friend tested negative for COVID.
- Thankful for so many wonderful books to read and enjoy.
- Thankful for coffee and probably those close to me are also thankful I have coffee.
- YOU! What do you feel gratitudes for? You can share here or post a post. And you can even share it by clicking on the blue box. Peeker the chickie wants to know!
