Thankful Thursday: Sun is just the start 

 

1.
Sun.

2.
Sun on a lake.

3.
Sun on a lake in summer.

4.
Sun on a lake in summer, and swimming.

5.
Sun on a lake in summer, and swimming, immersed in the quiet of water lapping against boat.

6.
Sun on a lake in summer, and swimming, and I am immersed in the quiet of water lapping against boat, and later I turn pages of a good book and feel the need to do nothing more than absorb heat, water, and stillness -- and feel a fullness only gratitude can bring.

 

Gratitude. Appreciation. Praise. It's Thankful Thursday, a weekly pause to appreciate people, places & things.

What are you thankful for today?

1. Having all of my cavities filled. May these be the last.

2. Nitrous. Because some of us can't get through dental work without a little help.

3. Dancing, dancing, dancing.

4. Good teachers.

5. Learning how to cold-brew coffee.

Yes to nitrous! What a wonderful invention.

Good to 'see' you here again, Allyson.

I'm thankful that it probably cant get any hotter here, than it already is.

So this might mark the beginning of the slide into fall.

Ohhh, now there's some perspective. Coming to you from the Oregon Coast, land of the 60 degree summer.

Always nice to have you drop in Shawnte. Thanks for taking the time.

1. A book.
2. A book I wrote.
3. A book I wrote published this month.
4. A book I wrote published this month, and flying, flying, flying into the hands of readers.
5. A book I wrote published this month, and flying, flying, flying into the hands of readers who will find a beautiful Drew Myron poem on its first page.

Now that's a Thankful Thursday!

Congratulations, Auburn.

And what an honor to have a part in your very wonderful novel.

Gratitude is the name of the game this month, I think. Thankful for the fullness of life right now...
