Ten Things of Thankful – February 26 2021
It’s TTOT time and let’s get to it!
- What do you mean? February is over ALREADY? I mean we still have two more days, but whew! BUT it was a very productive month, despite challenges and let’s just jump to the results, they are why we are here, right? So my first thankful is that I have had the poem, “To Write” published.
- People are so supportive! My fellow poets are coming forward to help put together Coffee Table Talk for April. More about that in a future post, but suffice it to say that all spaces are filled and filled up fast!
- Daughter has been helping a friend with some projects and I am grateful that daughter is able to help and that she has such a nice friend.
- Daughter and friend brought us supper so I did not have to cook! I am so happy when that happens.
- Blessings that just come for no reason at all. You know, the ones you didn’t ask for but surely needed.
- A book of which I edited is being offered for Free on Kindle today and tomorrow. Don’t you need a book of love poems? I am happy to be a part of this book Love’s Anticipation.
- With zoom and other meeting apps we are able to reach so many people.
- Collaborations are fun and I am working on one.
- Saving one of the bests for last is this weather has brought on the breath of spring!
- What’s your thankful? Let’s hear it in the comments or how about a post? Esther is nosy to know, too!

8. Flash drives. Whoever invented them, THANK YOU!
9. Do you ever put on your headphones and not have any music? I call it my Sounds of Silence. It helped me to stay focus. Thankful for headphones which really do cancel out noise. And if you want to listen to beautiful music, I suggest checking this out:

Writer Talk with Emma L. Sembly From Classroom to Children's Books — An Interview with Emma L. Sembly – Prolific Pulse Press Podcast
For Emma L. Sembly, every story teaches a lesson, and every life is a story.Emma is a life-long storyteller and lover of stories. As a child, Emma loved telling fantastical tales, starting with a captive audience consisting of her little sister. After she grew up, Emma continued to create stories that her students loved.With a bachelor's degree in psychology from Elmhurst College and a master's degree in reading from Johns Hopkins University, Emma set out on a thirty-seven-year journey as an educator in the Baltimore City Public School System, where she taught children with different abilities on both elementary and high school levels. During that time, she also created stories for her own daughter and niece, then for her grandchildren and great nieces.Now, Emma creates stories for children of all ages, especially the young at heart.Emma also has a podcast, Just Folks: Conversations with Emma, in which she provides a platform where regular, everyday humans can share their own stories with listeners of all persuasions. Life lessons shared.Drawing and writing poetry are among Emma's favorite things to do. She also enjoys planting red flowers around her home. And when she's not chatting it up with her kitty of thirteen years, she's having a blast with both of her Favorite Number One Grandchildren."What I have learned as a writer and podcaster, is that our stories, our bedtime stories, our fables, are the gateways to life's lessons," Emma says, "and we all have a story to tell."https://emmaleesembly.com/https://www.prolificpulse.com/emmalsembly
