For myself, I’m VERY grateful that my health is still improving a little bit every day, and that my family is ALL well and happy. Now it’s your turn: you are officially invited to share what YOU are grateful for today, and in doing so, perhaps inspire others to think about the good things in their lives.Β
Happy Freya’s Day, Everyone!
Grateful for life, for family, for friends, for bountiful blessings and so much more…

PS, you reminded me of another thing I can add to my ever-growing list: my author and blogging friends! OH, how grateful I am for them!! They (including you, Dear Heart) make every day easier and more fun! More instructive, too, as I continually learn from them.

Wonderful, Sharon. And you’ve mentioned two more things I’m also grateful for. Mobility (even with using a cane at times) and MOST (if not all of my senses.) Thank for two excellent points. and thanks for stopping by! π β€

I’m grateful that I live in a country where I don’t know what it’s like to not have food when I’m hungry or clean water to drink when I’m thirsty. I’m grateful for still having friends I knew nearly 60 years ago and for all the new ones – such as yourself – who I’ve found through my writing. I’m also grateful for all the laughter that I find in these blogs.
And I’m grateful that you’ve survived Covid, Marcia, and are making a good recovery. β€ π β€

π Those little things that make you happy count too, Craig! I’d love to have a fruit tree in my yard, and be able to pick fresh fruit each morning. π Problem is, Granny Smith apples don’t grow here in Florida, and that’s what I’d want. Still … I’m very thankful for my garden as a whole, even though it’s not yet back to anything like its former glory, because it is beautiful all year long! Just as colorful in December as it is in June, and always a spot for peace and relaxation.
Enjoy your fresh pear, my friend, and thanks for reminding us that gratitude can extend beyond the bigger, more obvious things. It can be found in our lives everywhere, if we take a moment to look! π€

Thanks, Diana. Happily, my family is doing well so far, and hopefully will continue to do so. I’m getting better, but decided today I’m simply not ready for “prime time,” so I cancelled my two September talks. I want to be a bit farther along, especially energy-wise, before I tackle those. (Not creeping around like an invalid, with occasional bouts of coughing.) But I’m improving every day and grateful for that.
And I love your list! So glad to know you are blessed with good weather, family you love, your books, and … tada! … your beach umbrella! π That presents a great picture of you, relaxing under it with a glass of iced tea and a wonderful book in hand. Yes! All things to be grateful for, definitely. Thanks for stopping by today and taking a moment to share! π€ β€

Thanks so much. Yes, it can take a long time to get completely over, and apparently, the immense fatigue is the worst thing with the milder versions, and the last symptom to disappear. But I know how lucky I am to have fared this well, so I’m still smiling. Looking forward to getting my life back again, though, for sure. π Especially my talks, and writing. I seem to have trouble concentrating on that very long, but I’ll make it happen. I’ve got another story or two to tell, by golly! π β€
