Each year, I get to write the Thanksgiving post here at Inspired by Life & Fiction. It's one benefit of being the author who posts the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month. There's so much to be grateful for, even more in a year that has been far from normal...what is normal anyway? This year I want to fix my gaze on the many reasons I have to be grateful.
