Happy March and TTOT time! March isn’t really coming in like a lion, so I picked a calm looking lion in the photo. March is more like a smooth transition into spring in our area. We didn’t even see a teensy bit of snow. So, what’s happening in Thankfulville?
- I had a productive morning with my friend at a coffee shop. We focused on our own writing projects and supported each other by brainstorming and reviewing poems. I appreciated the chance to collaborate in person with someone who shared my goal. We both made significant progress.
- I enjoy grocery shopping very much. I appreciate that I can afford to buy groceries, even if the prices are not ideal. I like to read the labels carefully, so I spend a lot of time in the store. That’s why I usually go by myself. I don’t want to make others wait for me.
- I appreciate turn signals and their proper use. Today, someone honked at me when I made a right turn. I had signaled my intention well in advance, so I was puzzled by the honk. I checked my turn signal after parking and it was working fine. Maybe the other driver did not notice my signal or misunderstood my action. Instead of ranting, I want to be thankful. Perhaps my turn helped the other driver to wake up if they were sleepy or distracted. Maybe they had some personal issues on their mind. I hope they reached their destination safely and paid more attention to the road. I did them a favor by making them more alert. You’re welcome.
- During tax season, my sweetheart has to work longer hours. He comes home very hungry after work, so I always have his meal ready for him. I am grateful for his hard work and the support he provides for our family. I am also grateful he likes my cooking.
- My daughter needs a knee surgery. It’s not a replacement, but a kind of adjustment. I had a similar surgery when I was in my twenties. Back then, they had to make a large incision and leave a long scar. Now, it’s done with arthroscopy and she can go home the same day. I’m glad she won’t have to stay in the hospital or have a big scar. And I’m hopeful that this will help her feel better. She has suffered for a long time, and I hope this will be a positive change.
- Time seems to fly when I’m busy. It’s already March and I’ve had a lot to do. I appreciate the chance to collaborate with writers and assist them in achieving their objectives.
- I love attending the quarterly conferences by Fine Lines Literary Journal. In April, I will present a workshop titled “Tattoos on my soul.” This idea emerged from a brainstorming session with David Martin. We liked the phrase and decided to use it. It’s in production now, so I’m thankful for new opportunities.
- I am also grateful that people we have asked to present for the conference have all said “yes.”
- The dogwoods and other flowering trees display their blossoms, creating a beautiful spring scenery. We enjoyed a walk to appreciate their beauty before they fade away.
- How about you? What are you feeling grateful for this week? Or, if you’re like me and haven’t been here for a while, this month…
