Ten Things of Thankful-August 12 2023

Lisa Tomey-Zonneveld

Happy TTOT time!

  1. Happy Birthday to Me! I am so grateful for all the wonderful wishes. And for an especially awesome birthday month. I am also grateful for my sister friend who took me out for the day.
  2. We have experienced typica; NC weather this week. It worked out that I didn’t have to go out in the rain.
  3. For answers to my shoulder and that I have a best surgeon to handle it. This has been something I have dealt with for years, but the last episode didn’t go away.
  4. Flowers. I went to TJ’s and they started carrying tiny bouquets, which I love. So, I bought a little bouquet with pretty oranges, yellows, and purple.
  5. Writing buddies. I was able to meet with another writer on Friday and we chatted and then both got to work. It’s nice to get outside of my zone.
  6. That we have the choice to pray, ask for help, meditate to help others. Thinking of Maui, right now. Grateful I was able to go to Hawaii years ago and grateful that the fires are over and praying for recovery and more.
  7. Grateful that projects are abundant.
  8. Grateful for a trusted person to do edits.
  9. Grateful for love.
  10. YOU
poetry, TTOT

It’s TTOT time! Let’s go!

  1. It has been a super busy week, but a productive one. My friend and I met up with other writers in person on Friday. This was a real meeting of the minds and so much was accomplished. It was nice to get together at the new bookstore in Cary.
  2. Tomatoes! One of the members of the abovementioned group brought his own garden tomatoes. Yes, please! Yummmmm
  3. Five Minute Energy Clearing from Ambika Devi. I met Ambika several months ago and she is an amazing writer, artist, and all-around great person. She shared this resource for taking just five minutes… It came at just the right time. I was clutter-headed and needed a reset. Here is the link: https://ambikadevi.com/5-minute-energy-clearing/
  4. Woo Wee! Two books out almost on top of each other. Two different books, both from prolific poets. One is a book of poetry and the other is a journal, but a very unique journal. They are both excellent. I don’t usually share these links in my TTOT but I am so grateful for these accomplishments I am breaking my rule. What Matters Journal show me the banksy
  5. Daughter was accepted to a new program and starts Monday. She is looking forward to it and probably to having time away from me.
  6. It sprinkled this morning and the temps dropped a little.
  7. Convenience to nearby stores. I love that we can actually walk to Mister’s pharmacy. The other one is across the street (not crossing that street YIKES). Excellent that they are close, along with grocery stores.
  8. It is almost time for the Sealey Challenge and I have my books all set. In my office, there’s a poetry book always nearby. Are you participating? Check it out. I know a publisher (clears throat) who has poetry connections…wink wink
  9. Just two more days and we can start my birthday month. It’s my trip before a monumental number in 2024. I intend to take this year up on its challenge. Just watch me or run along with me. Well, not run, I don’t move that fast! Oh yeah… I met a physical challenge this month and even received a T-shirt and medal.
  10. YOU What’s your thankful this week? Drop in the comments or create a post and link up below. Check out what others are sharing.
