  1. I am grateful to be able to be here today. Would you like to join us? Just write up your thankfuls and click on the above blue bar and add your post. We would love to have you join us.
  2. My shoulder is healing well. I am being a very good patient for physical therapy and moving along nicely.
  3. As a consequence of shoulder surgery and sleeping positions I have had some spine issues come up. So, that’s also being addressed with physical therapy.
  4. It’s nice to see daughter having so much fun with her different activities. Today she is at the museum downtown.
  5. Daughter has grown into adulthood and socializing to the point that she is having a group gathering for Thanksgiving and the two days after.
  6. We will have a couples Thanksgiving due to #5, but we will save leftovers, the best part, right?
  7. There are several events lined up for new books and a soon to come anthology announcement.
  8. So many prayers have been answered for family and friends.
  9. The support of so many people who step up to the plate when needed.
  10. The Friday morning Raleigh Writer’s Group is one I look forward to each week and I am also happy to be in the Raleigh NC Content Creators and Influencers group. We are meeting right now and I can do this as part of the group. Thankfully so. What are your thankfuls. Please share.

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
