Every year I get the privilege of posting on Thanksgiving. This year I’m on an incredibly tight deadline…and I’m actually quite grateful for that, because last year at this time, I thought my writing career might be over. That was actually a gift because it allowed me (aka required me) to make sure I was actually okay with writing being a good gift who’s time had passed.
I’m also very grateful for every encouraging reader. The ones who buy our books. The ones who leave reviews. The ones who comment on our social media posts and essentially make writing such a rich process. It wouldn’t be worth the hours in front of a keyboard without you.
I’m grateful for my husband and kids who cheerlead me on, even when it means I’m sitting in front of the computer when we’d all rather play games or watch a movie. 🙂 My in-laws, siblings, and parents are equally as supportive. My dean loves to tell prospective students that I don’t just teach but also write lots of books. My students think it’s kind of cool, too. A few even try my books.
I’m thankful for my husband and kids and the way our family has grown by a son this year.
I’m grateful for our health even as the Flu (A & B because we’re that lucky) has hit a couple of our kids. I’m glad for joyful times and celebrating a life time with extended family. God is so very good…when things are easy and when they are hard.
